摘要:
Data on U.S. suicide rates and marital integration by age, race, and sex for 1940, 1950, 1960, and 1970 are used to test the status integration theory. All of the correlations among age groups between marital integration values and suicide rates are negative as predicted, but the correlations are greater for males. Moreover, the female correlation has declined substantially, so that by 1970 it was negligible for both white and nonwhite females. Most importantly, for both sexes and any year the negative correlation between marital integration and the suicide rate is due to the correlation between those variables and occupational integration (positive for marital integration and negative for the suicide rate).
