摘要:

ABSTRACTThis psychological autopsy of the suicidal death of an adolescent Indian boy includes a brief family background, a history of his difficulties, and a report of his psychological evaluation. There is an attempt to understand the societal and familial factors that seem to have predisposed him to commit suicide. The report includes an analysis of the resources currently available in Indian communities and a recommendation for the kinds of resources that might prevent suicide in this setting.

摘要:

ABSTRACTSuicide proneness and self‐destruction scales, together with measures of self‐favorability and self‐confidence, were administered to two samples (n= 106 andn= 213). The affective responses of the second sample (134 women and 79 men) were measured by asking respondents to circle adjectives classified for activity‐passivity, positive‐negativeness, and extroversion‐introversion that expressed their feelings toward eight situations. Women scored lower than men on suicide proneness, higher on self‐destruction, and lower on self‐favorability and self‐confidence. Women reacted more passively to the situations than men and more negatively to the public challenge situation. Women tend to extrovert (turn outward on others) their positive feelings in pleasant situations and to introvert (turn blame on themselves) their negative reactions to unpleasant situations. Men do the reverse. It is suggested that women are self‐destructive in passive ways, reflecting their lack of self‐favorability and confidence and manifested by failure to react to everyday situations

摘要:

ABSTRACTFindings are reported concerning the hypothesized relationship between adoption of suicidal responses (ideation, threats, attempts) and antecedent negative self‐attitudes. Data were provided by junior high school student (N= 3,148) responses to questionnaires administered three times at annual intervals. Antecedent negative self‐attitudes were measured by a seven‐item self‐derogation scale at the first testing. Adoption of suicidal responses was indicated by earlier denial and subsequent affirmation of the response (self‐reports). Findings indicate that suicidal behaviors are responses (whether or not subsequently continued) to experiences of negative self‐attitudes in the more recent past. However, whether or not suicidal behaviors are related to self‐derogating feelings in the more remote past can be seen as a function of a sex‐social‐class‐mode of suicidal r

摘要:

ABSTRACTSuicide and simulated notes and forced‐death documents were processed on theHarvard III Psycho‐Sociological Dictionary.For each text, frequencies of related words were generated; these were contrasted with each other and with baseline data usingzscores. The results indicated that the suicidal groups were more “deviant.” Other findings are concreteness and constriction of focus for suicides—a pattern suggesting denial just prior to the deed. The forced‐death group seemed to be more meaningfully in contact with life and aware of responsibility. The simulated group appeared to be fabricating a popular stereotype rather than exhibiting empathy. Implications wer
