Despite the rising concern with the increasing rate of violent and suicidal behaviors in this country and others, we remain relatively limited in our ability to rigorously define, classify, and measure these behaviors. In addition to our previous work in developing self-rating scales assessing aspects of aggressive behaviors, we have developed the Suicide and Aggression Survey (SAS), a new, comprehensive, semistructured interview and research tool, for the purpose of comprehensively evaluating and understanding the multiple constituents of these behaviors, and for assisting in predicting which individuals might be at high risk for suicide or violence. The present report describes the need for such an instrument and the theoretical models that have guided us in constructing it; one of these is a sequential description of the major classes of variables related to aggression and the other is a two-stage model of countervailing forces. Preliminary reliability data and a description of the structure of the interview are included.
尽管在本国及其他国家，暴力和自杀行为发生率不断上升，人们对此愈发关注，但我们在严格定义、分类和测量这些行为的能力方面仍然相对有限。除了我们之前在开发评估攻击行为各方面的自评量表方面所做的工作外，我们还开发了自杀与攻击调查（SAS），这是一种全新的、全面的、半结构化的访谈和研究工具，旨在全面评估和理解这些行为的多个组成部分，并协助预测哪些个体可能有自杀或暴力的高风险。本报告描述了对这样一种工具的需求以及在构建该工具时指导我们的理论模型；其中一个是与攻击相关的主要变量类别的顺序描述，另一个是对抗力量的两阶段模型。还包括初步的可靠性数据和访谈结构的描述。
