Suicide and Sexual Orientation
Studies from the German speaking countries on the suicide risk of homosexual and bisexual individuals are largely lacking. In several studies we found that Austrian homosexual and bisexual individuals are at an increased risk for suicide too, and we also investigated risk factors and protective factors relevant for suicide prevention (Martin Plöderl, Clemens Fartacek, Karl Kralovec, Reinhold Fartacek).
Suicidality and physical activity
Within suicidology, research about the preventive effect of physical activity is lacking. In this project we aim to investigate the effects of regular mountain hiking on hopelessness in chronic suicidal patients. (Josef Sturm, Reinhold Fartacek, Martin Plöderl, Clemens Fartacek, Karl Kralovec, Günter Schiepek).
Long-term development of suicidality
This project puts focus on the investigation of long-term development of suicidality. The Synergetic Navigation System (SNS) is an internet-based method for mapping processes of change. (In cooperation with Prof. Günter Schiepek, Institute of Synergetics and Psychotherapy Research).
Adjustment disorder and suicidality
This Psycho trauma research project puts focus on the former so-called „Krisenpatient“ (Clemens Fartacek, Martin Plöderl, Reinhold Fartacek).
Suicide risk
Investigation of depression, hopelessness, impulsivity, aggression and selection of method for suicide (Reinhold Fartacek, Martin Plöderl, Karl Kralovec, Clemens Fartacek)
Chronic suicidality
Development and Testing of methods in treating the chronic suicidal patients. (Martin Plöderl, Reinhold Fartacek, Karl Kralovec, Rupert Dinhobl, Clemens Fartacek, Sabine Lettner).
Regulation of emotions
Emotions like grief, anxiety, anger, rage and hopelessness are playing an important role in the suicidal development. There are mayor gender differences in emotion regulation. Due to the investigation of emotion-related differences we want to open up new paths for therapy (Rudolf Rohrer, Reinhold Fartacek).
