An investigation of the relationships between suicidal ideation, psychache, and meaning in life using network analysis

Table 1 The mean scores, standard deviation, EI, BEI, and predictability for each variable

Variable	M ± SD	EI	BEI	Pre
Despair	1.38 ± 2.51	0.55	0.10	0.68
Pessimism	0.21 ± 0.62	0.09	–0.16	0.86
Sleep	0.70 ± 1.07	0.68	0.29	0.80
Psychache	16.45 ± 6.43	0.38	0.38	0.79
MLQ-P	29.31 ± 5.41	–0.41	–0.69	0.78
MLQ-S	24.80 ± 8.12	0.42	0.14	0.97

Note: M, mean; SD, standard deviation; EI, expected influence; BEI, bridge expected influence; Pre, predictability; MLQ-P, presence of meaning in life; MLQ-S, search for meaning in life
Blue edges represent positive relations, whereas red edges represent negative relations. The thickness of an edge indicates strength of the relationship. The weights of edges are provided in Supplementary Table 1. The ring around each node depicts its predictability. MLQ-P, presence of meaning in life; MLQ-S, search for meaning in life
