Abstract

Theory and research on suicide were used to derive variables for a regression equation to predict the suicide rate in 17 industrialized nations. This regression equation was found to be quite accurate in predicting the relative suicide rates of other European nations (not in the original sample) but not of non-European nations. Blood type was the strongest predictor of national suicide rates.

摘要

关于自杀的理论和研究被用于推导一个回归方程的变量，以预测17个工业化国家的自杀率。结果发现，这个回归方程在预测其他欧洲国家（不在原始样本中）的相对自杀率方面相当准确，但在预测非欧洲国家的自杀率方面则不然。血型是国家自杀率的最强预测因素。
