Feeling like a robot may raise suicide risk, new study suggests
NCT ID NCT06710964
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether making people feel like machines (self-dehumanization) can temporarily increase thoughts of suicide and change levels of the hormone oxytocin. Researchers will compare a group that experiences this feeling to a control group. The goal is to understand if self-dehumanization is a new risk factor for suicide, which could help with prevention. The study involves 50 adults aged 18-40 who already have some self-dehumanization and past suicidal thoughts.
