Survivalism and Public Opinion on Criminality
Explanations of variability in public opinion on crime have drawn disproportionately from the literature on specific symbolic orientations including religious fundamentalism and racial prejudice. In contrast, this article hypothesizes that public opinion is linked to the strength of a general cultural axis of nations: survivalism vs. self-expressionism. Data are from the fourth wave of the World Values Survey. Hierarchical modeling techniques are…
Media coverage as a risk factor in suicide
A total of 293 findings from 42 studies on the impact of publicized suicide stories in the media on the incidence of suicide in the real world were analyzed by logistic regression analysis.

The present article addresses these issues. First, country music fans are found to be at significantly higher risk of suicide than nonfans both in gun ownership and marital disruption. A signific…
