Abstract
The current research investigated the association between self-concealment and mental health in a sample of Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel. More specifically, we examined the associations between self-concealment, a personality trait associated with one’s tendency to conceal negative personal information and feelings, and one’s suicide ideation, psychological distress, and hazardous and harmful alcohol use. Personnel who reported higher levels of self-concealment also reported higher levels of mental health symptoms. Furthermore, we present receiver operating characteristic curve analyses for predicting at-risk status for suicide, psychological distress, and hazardous and harmful alcohol use from self-concealment.
