Authors review the literature related to the suicide and the victims' birthday, but they have not found study, which have shown a strong connection. They investigated a large Hungarian sample using the well-known methods, but they have applied also a new one supposing they will found some connection. All the three methods have shown a strong relationship between the date of birthday and the date of suicide among man in all age-groups: namely, much more man committed suicide on his birthday than on other days of the year. Only a slight significant connection they found among the female aged 60 and more. Authors did search the conceivable causes (sociologic, cultural etc.) but they have not found any explanation. The cause is presumably is the special sensibility of the Hungarian man.
作者回顾了与自杀和受害者生日相关的文献，但他们尚未发现有研究表明两者之间存在紧密联系。他们使用知名方法对一个庞大的匈牙利样本进行了调查，但也应用了一种新方法，期望能发现某种联系。所有这三种方法都表明，在所有年龄组的男性中，生日日期与自杀日期之间存在紧密关系：也就是说，在生日当天自杀的男性比一年中的其他日子要多得多。他们仅在60岁及以上的女性中发现了轻微的显著联系。作者确实探寻了可能的原因（社会、文化等），但未找到任何解释。原因大概是匈牙利男性具有特殊的敏感性。
