  1. "Thwarting disorientation situations tend to cause suicide. . . . [There are] correlations between . . . thwarting disorientation traits and suicide source wordage" (139)Naroll, Raoul - Cultural determinants and the concept of the sick society, 1969 - 2 Variables

    This study explores the concept of "healthy" and "sick" societies. The author considers indicators of stress as correlates of sick and healthy societies and finds that the best indicator of the sickness or healthiness of a society is its suicide rate.

  2. Men's divorce freedom and defiant homicide predicted suicides attributable to interpersonal frustration while only men's divorce freedom predicted suicides with apparent extrapersonal precipitants (227-228, 222).Krauss, Herbert H. - Social contexts of suicide, 1971 - 8 Variables

    This study investigates the thwarting disorientation theory of suicide, suggesting that the rate of suicide in a society can be predicted from thwarting disorientation traits such as men’s divorce freedom and defiant homicide.

  3. "There should be a positive correlation between the total number of suicides recorded and the number of thwarting disorientation situations scored present for each society" (354)Krauss, Herbert H. - Cross-cultural study of the thwarting disorientation theory of suicide, 1968 - 2 Variables

    Authors suggest that suicide is more likely to occur in contexts where an individual's social ties are threatened, weakened, or broken, causing social dislocation (thwarting-disorientation contexts). Results support this hypothesis.

  4. "The greater the TD [thwarting disorientation] level, the greater the number of suicides in a cultunit" (44)Krauss, Herbert H. - A cross-cultural study of suicide, 1966 - 2 Variables

    In this dissertation the author tests Naroll's "thwarting disorientation" theory of suicide further by testing hypotheses using individual suicide cases described in ethnography. Author also considered the societal factors that could create stress.

  5. "There should be a positive correlation between the total number of suicides committed in the context of thwarting disorientation and the number of thwarting disorientation situations scored present for each society" (354)Krauss, Herbert H. - Cross-cultural study of the thwarting disorientation theory of suicide, 1968 - 2 Variables

    Authors suggest that suicide is more likely to occur in contexts where an individual's social ties are threatened, weakened, or broken, causing social dislocation (thwarting-disorientation contexts). Results support this hypothesis.

  6. "The number of suicide cases . . . should be directly related to the number of TD [thwarting disorientation] situations scored present [in a] cultunit" (44)Krauss, Herbert H. - A cross-cultural study of suicide, 1966 - 2 Variables

    In this dissertation the author tests Naroll's "thwarting disorientation" theory of suicide further by testing hypotheses using individual suicide cases described in ethnography. Author also considered the societal factors that could create stress.

  7. "The . . . correlation of thwarting disorientation situations and TD suicide [should] exceed [that between] thwarting disorientation situations and non TD suicide cases" (356)Krauss, Herbert H. - Cross-cultural study of the thwarting disorientation theory of suicide, 1968 - 2 Variables

    Authors suggest that suicide is more likely to occur in contexts where an individual's social ties are threatened, weakened, or broken, causing social dislocation (thwarting-disorientation contexts). Results support this hypothesis.

  8. "More suicides should take place in thwarting disorientation contexts than non-thwarting disorientation contexts" (354)Krauss, Herbert H. - Cross-cultural study of the thwarting disorientation theory of suicide, 1968 - 2 Variables

    Authors suggest that suicide is more likely to occur in contexts where an individual's social ties are threatened, weakened, or broken, causing social dislocation (thwarting-disorientation contexts). Results support this hypothesis.

  9. "The number of suicide cases reported to be caused by extrapersonal frustration [EF] should be related to the number of TD [thwarting disorientation] situations in a cultunit, but this relationship should be weaker than the relationship between number of suicides . . . scored IF [interpersonal frustration] and number of TD [thwarting disorientation] situations scored present" (45)Krauss, Herbert H. - A cross-cultural study of suicide, 1966 - 3 Variables

    In this dissertation the author tests Naroll's "thwarting disorientation" theory of suicide further by testing hypotheses using individual suicide cases described in ethnography. Author also considered the societal factors that could create stress.

  10. "The thwarting disorientation contexts associated with individual suicides should be the same as the thwarting disorientation situations scored present for the society" (354)Krauss, Herbert H. - Cross-cultural study of the thwarting disorientation theory of suicide, 1968 - 2 Variables

    Authors suggest that suicide is more likely to occur in contexts where an individual's social ties are threatened, weakened, or broken, causing social dislocation (thwarting-disorientation contexts). Results support this hypothesis.
