自杀的人际关系理论（Joiner，T. E.，2005.为什么人们会自杀。哈佛大学出版社，剑桥）假定，对于严重或致命的自杀企图，一个人必须具有死亡的愿望和自杀的能力。这种能力被认为是随着时间的推移通过重复经历痛苦和挑衅性事件（如自伤行为）和其他经历（如童年虐待、战斗暴露、身体打斗、滥交和进行接触性运动）获得的。到目前为止，痛苦和刺激性事件的经历是用各种版本的痛苦和刺激性事件量表（PPES）来测量的。然而，这一评估工具仍然缺乏彻底的验证。我们的研究旨在验证德国版的PPES，两个临床（n=424）和一个社区样本（n=532）。结果支持一个两因素的结构（八个项目“主动疼痛和挑衅事件”，四个项目“被动疼痛和挑衅事件”），这是不变的三个子样本。尽管如此，低因素负荷，低指标的可靠性，中等结构的可靠性和结构效度的混合证据表明，PPES在其目前的形式似乎是有限的使用。开发一种新的工具来评估痛苦和挑衅性事件似乎是适当的。
The interpersonal theory of suicide (Joiner, T.E., 2005. Why People Die By Suicide. Harvard University Press, Cambridge) postulates that, for a serious or lethal suicide attempt one has to possess a desire to die and the capability to commit suicide. The capability is proposed to be acquired over time by repeated experiences with painful and provocative events such as self-injurious behavior and other experiences such as childhood abuse, combat exposure, physical fights, promiscuous sex, and playing contact sports. Up to now, experiences with painful and provocative events are measured with various versions of the Painful and Provocative Events Scale (PPES). However, a thorough validation of this assessment instrument is still lacking. Our study aimed at validating the German version of PPES, with two clinical (n=424) and one community sample (n=532). Results support a two-factor structure (eight items “active painful and provocative events”, four items “passive painful and provocative events”) that was invariant across the three subsamples. Nonetheless, low factor loadings, low indicator reliabilities, moderate construct reliability and mixed evidence for construct validity indicate that the PPES in its current form appears to be of limited use. The development of a new instrument to assess painful and provocative events seems appropriate.
