ABSTRACT:To study the fluctuation of suicides around the holidays, we examined 188,047 U.S. suicides from 1973 to 1979. Correcting for the effects of extraneous variables, such as seasons and days of the week, we found that suicides dropped by an annual average of −102.5 in the period surrounding the holidays. One set of holidays (Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas) was associated with an unusually low risk of suicide before, during, and after the holiday. Another set of holidays (New Year's Day, July 4th, and Labor Day) was associated with a low risk of suicide before the holiday and a high risk just afterwards. Almost all demographic groups experienced a low risk of suicide around the holidays: whites, blacks, males, females, retired persons, and persons of working age. Only white teenagers deviated from this pattern. Thus, the evidence does not support the widespread popular assumption that holidays are a risk factor in suicid

ABSTRACT:A retrospective analysis of all medically serious suicide attempts made by 45 patients hospitalized consecutively at the Payne Whitney Clinic with the DSM‐III discharge diagnosis of Unipolar Major Depression, Recurrent, With Psychotic Features was undertaken. Patients with delusions of bodily disease, damage, and malfunction were significantly less likely to make medically serious suicide attempts than patients with delusions of sinfulness, guilt, deserved punishment, or persecutio

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Despite improvements in the health of Americans over the last 30 years, the problem of suicide, and its disturbing rise in the last three decades, remains a major American health riddle. Recognizing suicide as a public health concern is essential to discovering strategies to prevent suicide. Such strategies and prevention efforts must be multifaceted, incorporating a number of public health principles and approaches. These approaches include the refinement of epidemiological methods in the study of suicide; development of health education, information, and intervention programs dealing with suicide; and increased community awareness of and participation in all suicide prevention efforts.

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Self‐poisoning patients (n= 40) were compared with psychiatric patients (n= 40) and nonpatient controls (n= 20) on measures of interpersonal problem‐solving skills and locus of control in an effort to determine the importance of these cognitive and personality variables in self‐poisoning behavior. The psychiatric and self‐poisoning groups showed deficits on measures assessing interpersonal problem solving when compared with nonpatient controls. The self‐poisoning group performed below the level of the psychiatric patients on all except one test, on which they performed at the level of the psychiatric group. Locus of control did not differentiate self‐poisoning patients from nonpatient controls, and it was concluded that this variable is not an important factor in self‐poiso

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Within a multivariate statistical design, the relationship of various interpersonal, emotional, and cognitive variables to suicidal ideation and behavior in college students was examined. A total of 158 subjects (58 males, 100 females) completed self‐report measures of life stress, faulty cognitions, loneliness, depression, hopelessness, family cohesiveness, adaptive reasons for living, and suicidal ideation and behavior. The results of a multiple‐regression analysis, forward‐inclusion algorithm, indicated that a predictive equation consisting of loneliness, irrational beliefs, and low adaptive reasons for living best accounted for suicidal behavior scores. To determine the basic structures and power of the predictor variables under study, a factor analysis and composite regression were employed, resulting in a predictive equation consisting of three factors: Social/Emotional Alienation, Cognitive Distortions, and Deficient Adaptive Resources. Results are discussed in terms of an interactional model of suicidal beh

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Changes in male and female suicide death rates for 33 years following the end of World War II in Japan were analyzed. The death rates for men and women decreased during periods of economic prosperity and then increased during the years preceding economic depression; that for men also increased after economic depression. When examined by profile analysis, the seasonal variation was slightly but significantly different in the four time periods (1950–1955, 1955–1967, 1967–1974, and 1974–1982) in both sexes except between the last two periods (p<.05). We suggest that death by suicide and its seasonal variation in Japan were affected by changes in socioeconomic con
