In light of concerns about potential iatrogenic effects of information about suicide, in the current study we examined the emotional impact of reading a list of warning signs for suicide in comparison to comparable lists for heart attacks and diabetes. All participants read two sets of warning signs, with the experimental group reading the suicide warning signs. Results confirm no difference in emotional impact across groups, along with providing evidence that warning signs for suicide are as easy to recall after exposure as warning signs for heart attack. Implications for pubic health campaigns are discussed.
鉴于对自杀信息潜在医源性影响的担忧，在本研究中，我们将阅读自杀警示标志清单与心脏病发作和糖尿病的类似清单进行对比，以检验其对情绪的影响。所有参与者都阅读了两组警示标志，实验组阅读了自杀警示标志。结果证实，两组在情绪影响方面没有差异，同时也证明了自杀警示标志在接触后与心脏病发作警示标志一样容易被回忆起来。本文还讨论了对公共卫生运动的启示。
