People regularly make decisions that are not aligned with their own self-interests. These irrational decisions often stem from humans having bounded rationality (e.g., limited computational power), which produces reliable cognitive biases that occur outside of people's awareness and influences the decisions people make. There are many important decisions leading up to a suicide attempt, and it is likely that these same biases exist within suicide-related decisions. This article presents an argument for the likely existence of cognitive biases within suicide-related decision making and how they may influence people to make irrational decisions. In addition, this article provides new evidence for using a behavioral economic intervention-nudges-as a potential way to combat rising suicide rates. We explore how nudges can help increase means safety, disseminate suicide prevention skills/materials, diminish well-known biases (e.g., confirmation bias), and uncover biases that may be occurring when making suicide-related decisions.

行为经济学和微调如何帮助减少与自杀有关的决策中的非理性。

人们经常做出与自身利益不符的决定。这些不合理的决定通常源自具有有限理性（例如有限的计算能力）的人类，这些理性产生了可靠的认知偏见，这种偏见发生在人们的意识范围之外，并影响人们的决策。有许多重要的决定导致自杀未遂，而与自杀有关的决定中也可能存在同样的偏见。本文提出了一种与自杀有关的决策中可能存在认知偏见的论据，以及它们如何影响人们做出非理性的决定。此外，本文提供了使用行为经济干预（轻推）作为应对自杀率上升的潜在方法的新证据。我们探索轻推如何帮助提高手段的安全性，
