This paper reports the results of a field study on five proximal social psychological variables derived from Farber's theory of suicide: Hope in the Future Time Perspective; Demands for Interpersonal Giving; the Availability of Succorance; Demands for the Exercising of Competence; and the degree of Toleration of Suicide. The subjects were mature, long-term residents of counties of Maine that proved stable in their relative rate of suicide. The value for each variable was assessed by a questionnair devised for this purpose by the author. The differences between the mean scale scores for the high and low suicide areas were analyzed by t-tests. The between group differences for all variables were significant at or beyond the .01 level of significance. A correlational study indicated that the relationship among the five variables was compatible with Farber's theory of suicide. The research generally offers strong support for Farber's theory of suicide at the social psychological level of analysis.
本文报告了一项实地研究的结果，该研究涉及从法伯自杀理论中衍生出的五个近端社会心理变量：未来时间视角下的希望；人际给予的需求；救助的可获得性；能力行使的需求；以及对自杀的容忍程度。研究对象是缅因州各县的成熟长期居民，这些县的自杀相对率证明是稳定的。每个变量的值通过作者为此目的设计的问卷进行评估。通过t检验分析了高自杀率地区和低自杀率地区平均量表得分之间的差异。所有变量的组间差异在.01显著水平或更高水平上具有统计学意义。一项相关性研究表明，这五个变量之间的关系与法伯的自杀理论相符。该研究总体上在社会心理分析层面为法伯的自杀理论提供了有力支持。
