Effects of repeated exposure to graphic suicide news articles on explicit and implicit measures of suicide risk
(2019-07-23)
Existing observational research suggests that following media portrayal of a suicide, there
is an increase in imitative suicidal behaviors (e.g., Gould, 2001; Pirkis & Blood, 2001; Stack,
2005). Despite a plethora of ...
The effects of resistance training on skeletal muscle senescent cell and denervation markers in older adults
(2023-07-03)
