▼ Despite a large body of research examining the effects of the traditional media on suicide via suicide contagion, there are still many questions concerning the relationship between the Internet and suicide. The differences between the Internet and the traditional media raise issues that extend beyond passive exposure to stories of suicide to active engagement with suicide-related content. Existing discussions of this topic surround the dangers of the Internet in facilitating or encouraging suicide (pro-suicide) and the benefits of the Internet in preventing suicide (anti-suicide), such as through professional online support services. However, little is known about the actual impact that the Internet can have on users and the role of different types of suicide-related online content. This thesis sought to explore these issues through three major aims: 1. To examine the types of content available to individuals conducting online searches relating to suicide methods 2. To compare suicide-related and non-suicide-related Internet users on measures of depressive symptoms, social anxiety, perceived offline social support, risk for suicide and help-seeking for suicide 3. To examine the online experiences and behaviours of suicide-related Internet users and the perceived impact of their Internet use. This thesis found that information on suicide methods can be easily found on the Internet, but that it does not necessarily lead to an increased risk of suicidal behaviour. Suicide-related Internet use is complex and its impact cannot be strictly viewed in terms of a pro-suicide/anti-suicide lens. The Internet may pose a risk to some vulnerable individuals but may also provide helpful, valuable support to others. The Internet has great potential for preventing suicide and indeed, this work found that individuals did go online for help or to cope. More efforts towards suicide prevention are necessary, including increasing availability of online professional services, evaluating the efficacy of existing services, promoting positive help resources and utilising the power of the wider community via the Internet, such as through social media, to aid in suicide prevention.

▼ More accurate clinical judgement has traditionally been considered an important product of training and experience. Although most training programmes are founded upon this premise, research findings have not always supported this. In fact a large body of literature has failed to demonstrate any relationship between the amount of clinical experience and training and the level of accuracy in clinical judgement. However, the conclusion that training and experience are unrelated to accuracy must be accepted cautiously, for it has largely been based on studies replete with serious methodological shortcomings. The aim of the present investigation was to minimize these problems while further examining this relationship with respect to the recognition of suicide potential, and the related question of confidence in judgement. The sample ultimately consisted of 185 individuals of varying levels of training and professional experience in psychology. Each subject completed a research instrument specially constructed to reflect the established body of knowledge concerning the prediction and occurrence of suicidal behaviour, and a Personal Information Questionnaire. The instrument was distributed either by post or through personal contact. The overall pattern of results is consistent with the weight of evidence from previous clinical judgement research indicating that experience and training are not significantly related to judgement performance. In contrast, the level of confidence in judgement was positively related to task-relevant experience and level of training. Indices of general experience were not strongly related to confidence. The design of this study did not permit an examination of how successful in clinical practice respondents are in identifying suicidal individuals. However, it did strongly suggest that some high-risk suicidal subgroups were more likely to be recognized than others. While stressing the need for caution in generalizing from the results of the present investigation, the trend for differential effects among indices of general and task-relevant experience suggest the need for additional studies involving these variables. A number of methodological issues and potential research strategies have been outlined.

▼ Railway suicide has considerable adverse impacts on the lives of families, friends, and witnesses to the event. However, little is known about the factors that influence railway suicide including the choice of trains. There is also limited understanding of whether railway suicides cluster in space and/or time, and what factors are associated with the risk of being in a cluster. This thesis addresses these research gaps. It comprises one systematic review and four research studies. The systematic review summarised the findings on the socio-environmental factors for railway suicide. The first study sought to examine neighbourhood factors associated with railway suicide at the ecological level and explore whether the observed associations were a product of contextual effects or compositional effects. The second study aimed to investigate individual and neighbourhood factors for railway suicide at the case level. The third study aimed to examine individual and neighbourhood predictors of the choice of trains as a method of suicide. The last study attempted to identify clusters of railway suicides occurring closer together in space and/or time. Having identified clusters, the study investigated individual and neighbourhood factors associated with the likelihood of a railway suicide being identified in a cluster. These studies included data on railway suicide occurring in Victoria, Australia from the National Coronial Information System and population-level data sources. The studies used a variety of rigorous methodologies to gauge a number of variables at both the individual and contextual levels. The results of these studies indicated that railway suicides were more likely to take place in local areas characterised by high station density, patronage volume and train frequency and less likely to occur in areas with a high number of surveillance cameras. Mental illness, high overall suicide rate, presence of railway tracks and city residence were associated with an increased individual risk of railway suicide. However, the effects of mental illness and overall suicide rate are commonly related to suicide and thus not specific to railway suicide. The influence of presence of railway tracks and city residence suggest the importance of availability of and accessibility to trains for railway suicide. The results also showed that at-risk individuals who were never married and those from areas with a high proportion of train commuters had an elevated likelihood of choosing trains. This implies that familiarity with trains may be a key risk factor for the choice of trains over other methods to end one’s own life. Importantly, railway suicides were found to cluster in space, especially for individuals who have been previously hospitalised for mental illness and live in areas with a high train frequency. These findings suggest that railway suicide is preventable. It could be prevented by limiting access to the railways, particularly sections of railways located within those areas prone to suicide clusters, and…

Suicide is a complex social phenomenon and a major public health problem in the world, ranking among the top ten causes of death for individuals of all age groups. In addition to known sociocultural predisposing factors, research in the past decades has pointed to neurobiological factors and more specifically to genetic factors increasing the predisposition to suicide. In this study, we aimed to investigate the influence of genetic variation on suicide using a candidate gene approach and to explore changes in terms of expression at the mRNA level using microarrays. Using the candidate gene approach a possible role for a Wolfram gene polymorphism in the susceptibility to suicide was identified and suggestive evidence was found linking the alpha2A receptor to suicide. Also, using microarrays we identified a gene implicated in the catabolism of polyamines, SSA T, as differentially expressed in the prefrontal cortex of suicides and depressed suicides. Also, a polymorphism in the promoter region of SSAT influencing its expression and associated with suicide was found.

Le suicide est un phénomène de société complexe et un problème majeur de santé publique. En plus des facteurs socioculturels connus, la recherche au cours des dernières décennies a mis en évidence l'importance de facteurs neurobiologiques et plus spécifiquement génétiques dans la prédisposition au suicide. Dans cette étude, l'influence de facteurs génétiques et des changements au niveau de l'expression des gènes a été investiguée. Dans un premier temps des études d'association ont été conduites sur des gènes candidats, Wolfram et alpha-2A, avec des résultats positifs dans le cas du premier gène le liant à la prédisposition au suicide et des résultats suggestifs dans le cas du second. Des études d'expression génique a l'aide de micro-puces d'ADN nous ont permis d'identifier un gène, SSAT, implique dans le catabolisme des polyamines comme facteur de risque chez des suicides et chez des dépressifs suicides.

▼ This study explores gender-relations in the lives of Australian men who have engaged in nonfatal suicide. With a focus on the relationship between masculinity and the practice of suicide, the study examines the connection between men’s suicide trajectories and their emotional, work, and help seeking practices. There is a striking gender difference in suicide rates worldwide with men accounting for approximately 80% of all deaths. In contradictory public discussions, men are presented sometimes as victims of a masculinity crisis and sometimes as victors in suicide, i.e. superior practitioners of suicide compared to women. A more substantive theory of men’s suicide, which moves beyond homogenizing accounts, is now required. Seventeen life-history interviews were undertaken with men who engaged in nonfatal suicide. Individual case-studies were written for each man. Four of these case-studies are presented in the thesis. The thesis then examines major analytic themes, on the basis of the full set of case studies. It reflects on; the multiple ways that suicide is practised in reference to masculinity; patterns of intent in nonfatal suicide; the construction of masculinity through the gender division of labour; the gendering of emotion, and emotional practice and finally, different patterns of help seeking in relation to health service frameworks. The findings challenge homogenising and crisis views of men’s suicide. They capture issues of agency, plurality of practice and the complex intersection between gender and other social structures that constitute a hierarchy of masculinities. Whether men pursued a hegemonic pattern of masculinity, remained ambivalent or resisted hegemony, their projects remained vulnerable to work, relationship and emotional issues. In many cases, suicidal action provided a way out of distress and, paradoxically, an alternative practice for constructing masculinity, where the body was both the vehicle and object of violence.

▼ Theories from the social psychology literature have posited that members of cultural groups are exposed to more frequent and damaging stressors, such as prejudice, discrimination, and oppression. Additional research has examined this concept in the context of individuals who belong to multiple minority groups, proposing that effects may cumulate for these individuals, thus they may experience additional psychological distress beyond that experienced by members of a single minority group. In the suicidology literature, research has found that members of minority groups have differential rates of suicide. Extrapolating these findings, the aim of the current study was to compare rates of suicidal ideation broadly across three groups: non-minority, single-minority, and multiple minority groups in order to identify populations who are at a higher risk for suicide. For the purposes of this study, individuals were classified as a minority through several distinct characteristics through which they self-identified, including ethnicity, sex, and sexual orientation. Specifically, it was hypothesized that the multiple-minority group would have the significantly highest level of suicidal ideation compared to the single-minority and non-minority groups. Next, the single-minority group was expected to have significantly higher levels of suicidal ideation compared to the non-minority group. Furthermore, the two minority groups were hypothesized to experience significantly higher rates of suicidal ideation overall compared to the non-minority group. An omnibus, one-way ANOVA was used to analyze study findings. Results of the overall ANOVA model were non-significant; however, based on a priori hypotheses and an examination of the means plot of group differences in expected directions, exploratory non-orthogonal (planned comparisons) were conducted. Results of the planned comparisons indicated there was a significant difference between the non-minority group and both the single and multiple minority groups when compared simultaneously. This result suggests that simply belonging to a minority group increases one's risk for suicidal thinking. Advisors/Committee Members: Wingate, LaRicka R.

▼ Suicide has immediate and long-term negative effects on surviving family members and adverse effects in the school and community. Suicide rates for children and adolescents have increased in the United States since 2009. As part of suicide prevention efforts, information about risk factors and warning signs are typically addressed in schools, private organizations, and communities. In addition to academic literature for professional audiences, various therapeutic resources are available to assist those who grieve the suicide of a loved one. In particular, practical and easy-to-implement interventions are needed by those who offer support to suicidal individuals and survivors of suicide. Practical resources are needed to address suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention needs. This study is based on a questionnaire that was given to 250 registered individuals at an annual state suicide prevention training conference. Of those attending, 60 (24%) completed the questionnaire. Participants who did not have experience working with suicidal youth did not participate, so the actual participation rate was influenced by this factor. Questions explored the recommendations of mental health professionals (N=60) who worked with (a) suicidal youth, (b) siblings of youth who completed suicide, and/or (c) youth whose parent completed suicide. More specifically this study investigated specific strategies and resources for working with these three specific groups of survivors. Findings from this study indicated that mental health professionals recommend a variety of suicide prevention resources and strategies such as implementing evidenced-based prevention programs, accessing community resources, offering individual and group counseling for survivors, involving or creating support systems, and listening to the affected youth. Also, recommended therapeutic approaches should include an action plan where students are able to receive appropriate mental health services. Based on this study, mental health professionals may be more effective as they acquaint themselves with available resources such as counselors, school psychologists, and community services to comprehensively care for struggling individuals. Mental health professionals, educators, and staff members should obtain relevant information and utilize effective intervention models in order to better address the prevention, intervention, and postvention needs of surviving individuals.Recommendations are made for future research in identifying the combination of resources that are most helpful. Recommendations are also made regarding specific content and training strategies to more effectively prepare and equip professionals to engage more fully in effective and supportive suicide prevention efforts.

Globally, an estimated 800,000 people die by suicide each year (World Health Organization [WHO], 2014). The epidemiological variations in suicide rates across the world point to the potential role culture plays in the experience of suicidality. Although suicide is widely regarded as a potentially preventable death, meaningfully reducing suicide rates has proven to be a challenge. In direct response to the need to clinically treat suicidal risk, Jobes (2012; 2016) developed a suicide-specific therapeutic framework called the “Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality” (CAMS). Central to CAMS-guided care is the “Suicide Status Form” (SSF), which is a multipurpose assessment, treatment planning, tracking, and outcome-oriented clinical tool (Jobes, 2016). The SSF is among the few suicide risk assessment instruments that applies both quantitative and qualitative methods. This exploratory cross-sectional and descriptive study investigated potential differences and similarities of the experience of suicidality between suicidal patients from six different nations (China, Denmark, Ireland, Norway, Switzerland, and the USA). First session quantitative and qualitative responses to Section A of the SSF completed by N= 362 suicidal patients engaged by CAMS-guided care were examined. Results evidenced significant differences across various quantitative and qualitative variables. Specifically, differences were observed between patients’ ratings of the SSF Core Assessment constructs and their wish to live/wish to die ratings. Qualitative differences were also observed, specifically among the SSF Core Assessment constructs, reasons for living/reasons for dying, suicidal motivation, and One-Thing Response. Several similarities were also observed across both quantitative and qualitative assessments. Specifically, patients did not differ in terms of ranking the SSF Core Assessment constructs in order of importance and no differences were found between patients’ suicidal orientation. Various factors (e.g., sample, setting, severity of risk), along with culturally-driven differences and similarities of the suicidal experience were explored. This was the first-ever study to explore detailed psychological differences of the suicidal experience across this many nations.

▼ Suicide in India is a complex social issue and a neglected area by the state. Research has focused on risk factors and the epidemiology of suicide; studies concerning the intersection of culture with attempted suicide are limited. The aim of this study is to explore cultural implications of attempted suicide and its prevention in Southern India by means of comparing and contrasting the accounts of survivors of attempted suicide, mental health professionals and traditional healers engaged in treating people with suicidal behaviour. Methodology: A qualitative design is used drawing on constant comparison method and thematic analysis. The analysis of the data is underpinned by the theoretical concepts of Bourdieu’s work. In-depth interviews were conducted with fifteen survivors of attempted suicide, eight mental health professionals and eight healers from Southern India. Results: Application of Bourdieu’s theory of symbolic power and violence, cultural capital and habitus to the analysis of data revealed the process of constant interaction among visible and invisible fields such as faith, power, control, family, religion and social systems which impact survivors’ disposition to situations. Disparities in gender and role structures within families, financial challenges, health concerns, abuse, and violence were commonly cited factors by all three groups of participants. A few survivors and healers attributed misfortunes and distress to magic, spells and ‘bad times’. Healers and professionals were particularly of the opinion that cultural transition has added to stress among people. Survivors considered religious and traditional methods of support as socially accepted norms. Medical assistance was sought only during apparent ill health. Psychosocial support was very rarely accessed and availed. A lack of awareness among family members and friends to identify mental health concerns and a wide gap between identification of severe stressors and treatment increased the risk of suicide and limited timely intervention. Conclusion: This study identified a set of cultural mechanisms that produced negative impact and led to attempted suicide. The role of culture in causing suicide and attempted suicide is explained by unraveling the dynamics of cultural mechanisms and support processes that survivors experienced and as reported by professionals and healers. This research evidence presents pathways into attempted suicide and a life away from suicide.

▼ Suicide takes the lives of over 3,500 Canadians each year, making prevention an important public health concern. Identifying psychological predictors of suicide risk is essential because these variables may be amenable to change in treatment, unlike demographic or historical factors. Although past research reveals that both hopelessness and depression are moderately strong predictors of suicidal outcomes, neither one of these constructs alone, or combined, is able to fully account for suicidality. Shneidman postulated that a different psychological construct, termed psychache, is a unique predictor of suicide when controlling for depression and hopelessness, and research has supported this assertion. Although evidence for psychache as a predictor of suicidal outcomes is accumulating, previous research has limitations, namely the use of cross-sectional research and a focus on healthy student populations. In addition, it has been suggested that because scales measuring depression, hopelessness, and psychache correlate highly, they are not distinct constructs, but instead represent a single syndrome. The general purpose of the current studies is to establish the importance of psychache as a predictor of suicidal ideation. In order to address past limitations in the literature on psychache, three related studies were conducted. The first study was cross-sectional and examined a general group of undergraduate students. Factor analysis showed that psychache, depression, and hopelessness are three correlated, but distinct, variables. The second study was a longitudinal study where self-report measures were administered to high-risk undergraduate students. A two-year follow-up revealed that psychache was the only significant predictor of suicidal ideation at follow-up, and that its inclusion rendered the predictive value of depression and hopelessness to nonsignificant levels. The final study involved two groups of undergraduates and was a longitudinal study with a five-month follow-up. One group was a general university sample, and the other was a group of high-risk students. The two groups were analyzed separately, but showed almost identical results, lending support to the generalization of results from university samples to clinical samples. In addition, for each group, psychache was a unique predictor of suicidal ideation and suicide preparation, after controlling for depression and hopelessness. Overall, these studies suggest that psychache is distinct from depression and hopelessness, and is a better predictor of suicidality than depression or hopelessness when studied longitudinally in both general and high-risk undergraduate students. The findings also indicate congruence between low and high-risk samples, highlighting the generalizability of psychache as a predictor. This research has implications for the assessment of suicide risk and treatment for individuals experiencing suicidal ideation. It is hoped that these studies will help bring psychache forward as a pre-eminent risk factor alongside depression and…
