In an earlier study, Centerwall explored the relationship between ownership of television and rising youth suicide rates. The present study examined changes in youth suicide rates from 1960 to 1970 in the states of America as a function of television ownership in 1960. It seemed that youth suicide rates rose more in the wealthier states, and the social variable of wealth may be more important than any particular manifestation of this wealth, such as purchasing major appliances.
在一项早期研究中，森特沃尔探讨了电视拥有量与青少年自杀率上升之间的关系。本研究考察了1960年至1970年美国各州青少年自杀率的变化，将其作为1960年电视拥有量的一个函数。似乎在较富裕的州青少年自杀率上升得更多，而且财富这个社会变量可能比这种财富的任何具体表现形式（比如购买大型电器）更为重要。
