socioeconomic and spatial differentials in mortality and means of Committing Suicide in new south wales australia 1985 1991
Social Science & Medicine, 1995Co-Authors: Ian BurnleyAbstract:Analysis of Suicide mortality in New South Wales, Australia is undertaken with reference to marital status and occupational status between 1986-1989/1990 and with reference to the principal means of Committing Suicide. Not currently married male manual workers were particularly at risk although marital status variations were significant with both genders and at different ages. Between 1985-1991 male Suicide mortality rates were significantly higher in inland non-metropolitan regions, especially among younger men, and were higher in inner areas of metropolitan Sydney. While there were no significant variations by marital status in the means of Committing Suicide there were variations between genders, and there were regional and social class variations in the use of guns with males. The use of guns was a factor in the elevated Suicide mortality levels among inland rural youth and men, and among farmers and transport workers while the use of poisons was also significant with these occupational groups. The use of poisons was greater among persons Committing Suicide in the areas of elevated mortality in inner Sydney and the use of guns much lower.

Ben Park, Jung Jin Kim, David LesterAbstract:A study of 249 South Korean university students found that estimates of the likelihood that they might commit Suicide in response to stressful life events was predicted by age, sex and attitudes toward life and death.

is it rational to have reasons for not Committing Suicide
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1995Co-Authors: David Lester, Barbara G OneillAbstract:Undergraduate students, 37 men and 104 women (MaBe=23.6 yr., SD=5.8), were administered a test of irrational thinking (Lee. Hallberg. & Haase, 1979) and a measure of self-esteem (Rosenbaum & decharms, 1960). The Reasons for Staying Alive inventory (Linehan, Goodstein, Nielsen, & Chiles, 1983) ' and a question about suicidal ideation were completed by the subjects for how they felt at a time when they had the greatest personal difficulties. Only 73 of the subjects had considered Suicide at that time. For these 73 subjects, irrational thinlung scores were positively associated with higher scores on survival and coping beliefs (partial r, controlling for age and gender=0.21, p<.05) and fear of Suicide (r = .25, p< .05). Higher self-esteem scores were related to higher scores for survival and coping belieh (r = 31, p < .01) and responsibility to family (r = .24, p< .05). ' Thus, the present results indicate that irrational thinking is associated with belief in some reasons for staying alive. These beliefs may be as dysfunctional as the desire to commit Suicide.

denomination religious context and Suicide neo durkheimian multilevel explanations tested with individual and contextual data
American Journal of Sociology, 2005Co-Authors: Frank Van Tubergen, Manfred Te Grotenhuis, W C UlteeAbstract:In Suicide, Durkheim found that involvement in religious communities is inversely related to Suicide risk. In this article, two explanations for this relationship are examined. One is that religious networks provide support. The other is that religious communities prohibit Suicide. To examine these hypotheses, individual‐level data on Suicide in the Netherlands from 1936 to 1973 are used. The results show that with an increase in the proportion of religious persons in a municipality, the chances of Committing Suicide decrease for every denomination in that municipality, as well as among nonchurch members. Furthermore, along with the secularization of Dutch society, the impact of religious composition on Suicide wanes. These results contradict the network‐support mechanism and confirm the notion that religious communities have a general protective effect against Suicide.

2004Co-Authors: Wang Xin-jianAbstract:Non-traditional terrorism attacks refer to those terrorism attacks by using biochemical and radiating materials to commit Suicide. Why the terrorists conduct non-traditional terrorism attacks mostly is due to one kind of so-called threatening and psychological factor.
