After the researcher evaluated all the statements from the Razuvaeva suicide risk questionnaire, he can be free. Interpretation of the results and assessment of the appropriateness of prescribing psychocorrection is the task of a specialist.

Identification of risk factors

There are several criteria by which the result is evaluated. Each of them is represented by a separate scale (the table is presented below). For each criterion, the specialist calculates the number of statements by which the researcher gave a positive answer. The resulting value is multiplied by a certain coefficient.

An analysis of the results identified after filling out the suicidal risk questionnaire allows the specialist to conclude that the researcher has prerequisites indicating that he can commit suicide. In addition, the psychologist can evaluate the severity of risk factors. The closer the value obtained is to the maximum possible value, the higher the likelihood of suicide.

As mentioned above, the obtained value must be multiplied by a certain coefficient. The list of indices is presented in the table below.

Interpretation of results: demonstrativeness and affectiveness

If the identified risk factor, according to the suicidal risk questionnaire, is of the maximum value, the researched one definitely needs psychocorrection. The lower the indicator, the lower the likelihood that a person wants to commit suicide.

The term "demonstrativeness" refers to the desire to attract the attention of others to their misfortunes. The goal is to ensure that a person is understood and constantly sympathized with him. The subject can act as if he really wants to commit suicide. However, this is nothing more than a cry for help. The most dangerous combination of demonstrativeness and emotional rigidity. In this case, the subject is really suicidal.

Affectivity is a state where emotions drown out the "voice of the mind." Sometimes there is a complete blockade of intelligence. In other words, a person reacts to a situation only emotionally.

Uniqueness and bankruptcy

Based on the results of the suicidal risk questionnaire, we can conclude whether the subject believes that his life is fundamentally different from others. If a person is sure that he is unique, then he finds non-standard ways out of situations that traumatize the psyche. In particular, suicide. Such people are characterized by inability to evaluate both their own and others' experiences.

Failure is the denial of the importance of self. A person is sure that nobody needs him in this world. He believes that he does not know anything, that he is not sufficiently developed physically and intellectually. In other words, he is sure that everything is bad.

Social pessimism and breaking cultural barriers

The researcher believes that the world around him is hostile towards him. At the same time, deep down, he is sure that everyone is unworthy of him.

The breaking down of cultural barriers is an extremely dangerous condition. Man builds suicide in a cult. He believes that only he has the right to decide his fate.

Maximalism and the Time Perspective

Man is infantile. In addition, he fixes his attention only on failures. The researcher does not make plans for the future, because he is sure that they are practically impracticable.

Antisuicidal factor

If the indicator in this case is close to or equal to the maximum, the person is fully aware of the degree of responsibility for loved ones. The researcher understands that suicide is a sin. In addition, it is associated with physical pain.

Finally

Questionnaire of suicidal risk T.N. Razuvaeva helps to find out if the researcher has a tendency to commit suicide. If there are prerequisites, psychocorrection is indicated.
