TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Belongingness and burdensomeness in adolescents: Slovene translation and validation of the Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Podlogar, Tina A1 - Ziberna, Janina A1 - Postuvan, Vita A1 - Kerr, David C. R. SP - 336 EP - 352 VL - 47 IS - 3 N2 - The Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire (INQ) for assessing thwarted belongingness (TB) and perceived burdensomeness (PB) has not been validated with community adolescents. We translated and administered the INQ to 307 Slovenian adolescents twice over 2-3 months and found that the 15-item version (INQ-15) did not fit without modification. TB and PB scales correlated with concurrent and later suicide ideation and lifetime suicide attempt history. The latent PB factor was associated with concurrent and later ideation controlling for TB, age, gender, depressive symptoms, binge drinking, and peer victimization. Suicide ideation and binge drinking were independently related to attempt history. Assessing and intervening on PB and binge drinking may be promising approaches to suicide prevention with community adolescents.
