In accordance with these results, some authors proposed that insomnia is related to an internalization of psychological distress.3,4 More recent studies have used the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), a well-validated instrument based on the unified biosocial theory of personality developed by Cloninger and colleagues.5,6 The TCI is a true–false questionnaire that measures four dimensions of temperament—novelty seeking (NS), harm avoidance (HA), reward dependence (RD), and persistence (P)—and three dimensions of character—self-directedness (SD), selftranscendence (ST), and cooperativeness (C).6

ER may increase the risk for SI through depressive symptoms. On the one hand, several theories suggest high levels of ER may lead to depressive symptoms. For example, the biosocial theory asserts that individuals with high ER may experience more frequent, more intense, and longer-lasting negative affects, which may contribute to emotional problems (e.g., depressive symptoms, anxiety; Linehan, 1993). On the other hand, SI may come up as a result of depressive symptoms, serving as a way to escape from the emotional problems (Evans et al., 2016). Research showed that individuals with depressive symptoms have a five-fold increased risk of having SI (Nock et al., 2013). Despite the evidences for the bivariate correlations, the mediating effect of depressive symptoms in the relation between ER and SI has been supported by only one longitudinal study (Polanco-Roman et al., 2018).
Hopelessness, Interpersonal, and Emotion Dysregulation Perspectives on Suicidal Ideation: Tests in a Clinical Sample

When comparing the association of the three perspectives of suicide to suicidal ideation, Hopelessness Theory and IPTS generally outperformed the emotion dysregulation perspective of suicide. Constructs related to Hopelessness Theory and IPTS consistently accounted for more variance in the experience of suicidal ideation as compared to negative affect and BPD features. Thus, with regard to a treatment seeking sample, IPTS and Hopelessness Theory offer likely offer more explanation in the variability of suicidal ideation than do deficits in emotion regulation. Importantly, the Biosocial Theory does not propose that negative affect or BPD symptoms alone are necessary and sufficient causes of suicidal ideation. Instead, it implicates the roles of both biological vulnerability toward emotion dysregulation and an invalidating environment leading to suicide outcomes. The present study does not assess the biological underpinning of emotion dysregulation, thus, we do not fully test the Biosocial Theory.

However, there is a paucity of research that has examined emotion reactivity as a potential moderator in the risk for substance use, with emotion regulation being the more prevalently examined variable. Rooted in biosocial theory, which emphasizes the importance of emotional vulnerability, emotion reactivity is an important factor to consider with respect to substance use. Individuals with high levels of emotion reactivity may have trouble tolerating their own emotions, and therefore may use substances to regulate intense emotions and cope with the experience of various emotions. In line with this and of particular relevance to the current study, prior research has found that low emotion reactivity (i.e., low persistence, intensity, and number of stimuli evoking a response) is associated with lower rates of substance use.25 Therefore, it is reasonable to hypothesize that high emotion reactivity might moderate the impact of participants’ perceived importance of reasons for not using on lifetime substance use.
