Thread Requesting Evidence on Predictors of Suicide

[Ban Kenobi]

Unemployment, low income and divorce are all predicters if male suicide. You've got to be a dumb **** to not realize that men know that they have to provide for women to get love and respect. What planet do you live on? You should slap yourself for being so stupid as to demand evidence for this.

I fear that if you demand evidence for that there is no hope for you. Plus google is a nice feature for the ignorant. Start another thread please if you want ti continue this discussion.

Go ahead, show me some evidence that unemployment, low income and divorce are driving male suicide while mysteriously leaving women unaffected.

Mmm didn't ever say women are not affected. However when a wife/mother loses her job it's not a big deal. Her husband is not likely to divorce her. On the other hand, if the husband loses his job it's a big problem for him. He's at risk of divorce. Then he'll be forced to pay child support and sometimes alimony. He's 4 times more likely to lose his real status as father and becomes a visitor. That's if his ex doesn't make a false accusation against him and alienate him from his children completely. This is why men commit suicide. God forbid that should ever happen to you. The question is why you don't seem to care.

Hopefully someone else will jump in and provide some actual data in this thread since Kidicious is apparently incapable of doing any actual research.

You don't have to provide data for obvious facts, gribbler. The sky is blue; the Earth is round; and unemployment, low income, and divorce predict male suicide.

Thought he was loinburger. Gribbler makes sense now.

[Lorizael]

Others guessed gribbler; I'm just following the crowd.

It went from 2 to 10 pages so fast that I no longer want to bother

From http://www.the-spearhead.com/2011/04...es-and-causes/

Based on studies by Professor John Macdonald, Co director of the Men’s Health Information and Resource Centre (MHIRC) in Australia and Thomas Joiner, Ph.D, a professor of psychology at Florida State University, it appears the two primary reasons causing the vast majority of male suicides are modern marriage (sometimes called marriage 2.0 on The Spearhead) and unemployment.

Simon Rierdon quoted an article by Michelle Beaulieu (Reuters Health, 2000) “In addition, divorce or marital separation more than doubled the risk of suicide in men, whereas in women, marital status was unrelated to suicide.” Dr. Augustine Kposowa from the University of California suspects that this difference is related to the social networks men and women form outside their marriages, which may be stronger or more meaningful in women than in men.

However...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_differences_in_suicide

While females tend to show higher rates of reported nonfatal suicidal behavior, males have a much higher rate of completed suicide.[2] A 2008 study of suicide attempts by gender found that females have a higher rate of attempted suicide than males earlier in life, which decreases with age.[7]

Although females attempt suicide at a higher rate, they are more likely to use methods that are less immediately lethal. Males frequently complete suicide via high mortality actions such as hanging, carbon-monoxide poisoning, and gun violence. This is in contrast to females, who tend to rely on drug overdosing.[13]

Been through that in the other thread.
