Abstract
This research established the psychometric properties of the Suicide Stroop task, a behavioral measure of suicide risk. Results showed poor internal consistency and lack of concurrent validity for commonly used scoring approaches. Suicide attempters demonstrated greater overall reaction times, which may be accounted for by increased depressive symptomatology.
