To test for social structural effects on the gender paradox in suicidal behaviour.
We analyzed newspaper reports of completed and attempted suicides in the Scottish city of Dundee during the mass movement of women into the paid labour force in the 19th and early 20th Centuries. We calculated rates of suicides per 100,000 of the male and female populations.
We found that the female suicide rate dropped during this time period, whereas there was only a significant reduction in attempted suicide amongst men.
Our understanding, and action to prevent, suicide in men and women must take place in the context of our gendered social world.
检验社会结构对自杀行为中性别悖论的影响。
我们分析了 19 世纪和 20 世纪初苏格兰邓迪市女性大规模进入劳动力市场期间报纸上报道的完成和企图自杀的案例。我们计算了每 10 万男性和女性人口中的自杀率。
我们发现，在此期间女性自杀率下降，而男性企图自杀的人数则显著减少。
我们对男性和女性自杀的理解以及预防自杀的行动必须放在我们有性别差异的社会环境中进行。
