Young men constitute one of the highest risk groups for suicide in most countries. This gives reason to explore how meanings attached to masculinity can be evoked and handled when a young man takes his life. In-depth interviews with 5 to 8 informants for each of 10 suicides, as well as suicide notes, were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The suicides appeared as signature acts of compensatory masculinity with the following themes: When hope is gone, no one must know; weakness was never allowed; and suicide conducted in a way to present oneself as heroic. The handling of masculinity in triggering suicidal plans and in carrying out suicide is intrinsically connected to avoidance of help-seeking behavior.
在大多数国家，年轻男性是自杀风险最高的群体之一。这使得我们有理由去探究，当一名年轻男性自杀时，与男子气概相关的意义是如何被唤起和处理的。通过对10起自杀事件中的每一起进行5至8名受访者的深度访谈以及对自杀遗书进行分析，采用解释现象学分析法进行研究。这些自杀事件呈现为补偿性男子气概的标志性行为，具有以下主题：当希望破灭，无人知晓；绝不允许软弱；以展现自己英勇的方式实施自杀。在引发自杀计划和实施自杀过程中对男子气概的处理，与避免寻求帮助的行为有着内在联系。
