The present work psychometrically evaluates a brief self-report questionnaire and novel ecological momentary assessment (EMA) items to assess the Suicide Crisis Syndrome (SCS). Data from n = 220 psychotherapy outpatients (sample 1) 142 psychiatric inpatients after suicide attempt or suicidal crisis 2) are analyzed (cross-sectional, study 1; 21 24 day EMA, 2). Dimensionality is examined by exploratory factor analysis in sample 1 subsequently cross-validated confirmatory (CFA) 2 (self-report questionnaire). Convergent validity determined correlation analysis. multilevel CFA. Temporal instability associations of SCS with affect, context sleep examined. Unidimensionality both measures supported good excellent reliability (α 0.83 1, ϖ 0.91 [self-report questionnaire]; prompt-level 0.94 person-level [EMA]). Correlations convergent validity. fluctuated moderately over time (with 26 % variance being attributable changes on within-person level high heterogeneity between participants) extreme shifts not very likely.
