The Attitudes of Men and Women concerning Gender Differences in Grief
Attitudes concerning gender and grief were investigated using a convenience sample of 106 men and women ages 23 to 82 years. Participants rated conjugal grief behaviors of target figures for sympathy and appropriateness on the Attitudes Toward Gender and Grief Scale, rated their own sex-role type on the Bem Sex Role Inventory, and provided demographic information and a brief grief history. Results from factor analysis of the Attitudes Toward Gend…
The Early Demise of the “Stronger” Sex
It is well documented that males die at younger ages than females. Although the sex differential in longevity has some basis in biology, many gender-related socialization practices in place in American culture build on existing genetic predispositions to cause males to be more vulnerable than females to early death, especially violent death and death from heart disease. Demographic data are presented to document premature death rates for men rela…
Examining suicide from a life span perspective
Developed from a life span perspective, the suicide-trajectory model includes four categories of risk factors: biological, psychological, cognitive, and environmental. These four risk factors interact with each other, lending their relative weights to the development of suicidal ideation. Suicidal ideation may then lead to warning signs and triggering events, followed by attempted suicide. It is possible to predict certain normative events or cri…
Ageism and sexism in suicide attitudes
This study was designed to measure attitudes toward suicide by sex and age. The SAVE-A scale was used to measure attitudes toward suicidal adolescents. A new inventory (the SAVE-L scale) was created to measure attitudes toward elderly suicidal people. The SAVE-L scale was found to possess good levels of internal consistency, to correlate in the expected direction with two concurrent validity measures and to break into the same three unitary facto…
Relationships between suicide attitudes and indicators of mental health among adolescents
A growing body of research literature suggests a relationship between mental health status and attitudes toward suicide among adolescents. This paper reports two studies which explored opposite ends of the mental health continuum as they relate to suicide attitudes among young people. The first study compared attitudes toward suicide between a group of institutionalized 15–24 year olds and a group of college students. The second study assessed su…
