Study Summary
Suicide-related experiences affect millions of people every year in the United States. Through decades of research, interventions targeting these experiences have developed with varied empirical support. Many of these treatments require regular attendance to in-person sessions with a trained behavioral health professional. Limitations of in-person services have led to the development of digital-based interventions, such as Therapeutic Evaluative Conditioning (TEC). TEC is based in evaluative conditioning principles and is a brief (1-2 minutes) digital intervention designed to increase aversion to self-injurious behaviors while decreasing aversion to the self through a match game-like task. Initial assessment of the intervention demonstrated promising results although treatment effects did not remain over time. Separately, sanctification, or the process through which aspects of life are perceived as having divine character and significance, can come from a theistic or nontheistic background and does not require a belief in a God or higher power to be experienced. When something is discovered as sacred, that sacredness becomes a priority for the individual, initiating motivation to conserve what is viewed as sacred. The primary aim of the current study is to develop and test the effectiveness of an adapted version of TEC designed to increase affinity for sacredness of life and increase the connection to life as mechanisms for decreasing suicide-related experiences. Results will provide insight into the perception of sacredness of life as a potential treatment target and are foundational work in a novel approach to address the public health priority of prevention and treatment of suicide-related experiences.
