The relationship between role interference and suicidal, homicidal and non-violent behavior is investigated. Interference obtains to the extent that enactment of certain roles tends to impede the enactment of others. High degrees of interference in the performance of roles is generally frustrating to individuals and is a potential generator of outwardly directed violence. Low degrees of role interference is likewise disconcerting to persons but in the absence of an external target for aggression may lead to self deprecation and ultimately suicide. Detailed life histories of 98 suicide victims, 62 homicide offenders, and 76 non-violent individuals having no history of homicidal or suicidal behavior were studied. Homicide offenders suffered a higher incidence of role interference than the suicide or non-violent samples. Suicide victims tended to experience low degrees of such interference.
本文研究了角色冲突与自杀、杀人及非暴力行为之间的关系。当某些角色的履行往往会妨碍其他角色的履行时，就会产生角色冲突。角色履行过程中高度的冲突通常会让个体感到沮丧，并且是引发外向型暴力的一个潜在因素。低度的角色冲突同样会使人感到不安，但在没有外部攻击目标的情况下，可能会导致自我贬低并最终走向自杀。研究了98名自杀受害者、62名杀人罪犯以及76名没有杀人或自杀行为史的非暴力个体的详细生活史。杀人罪犯经历角色冲突的发生率高于自杀者或非暴力样本。自杀受害者往往经历低度的这种冲突。
