TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Societal integration and age-standardized suicide rates in 21 developed countries, 1955-1989 JO - Social science research A1 - Fernquist, R. M. A1 - Cutright, P. SP - 109 EP - 127 VL - 27 IS - 2 N2 - Gender-specific age-standardized suicide rates for 21 developed countries over seven 5-year periods (1955-59...1985-89) form the two dependent variables. Durkheim's theory of societal integration is the framework used to generate the independent variables, although several recent theories are also examined. The results from a MGLS multiple regression analysis of both male and female rates provide overwhelming support for a multidimensional theory of societal integration and suicide, as first suggested by Durkheim.
