Unlike previous work, the present investigation tests a nonadditive model of the suggestion/imitation. Suicide stories are predicted to have the greatest effect on suicide in times of high suicidogenic conditions. The latter are measured in terms of unemployment. Data on the American monthly suicide rate are analyzed using Cochrane Orcutt techniques. While support was found for the nonadditive model based on an interaction effect between media stories and the rate of unemployment, it did not prove more powerful than an additive model. Future work is needed, however, for a systematic testing of the nonadditive thesis.
与以往的研究不同，本调查测试了一种关于暗示/模仿的非加性模型。预计自杀故事在自杀诱发条件较高时对自杀的影响最大。后者以失业率来衡量。使用科克伦·奥科特技术分析了美国每月自杀率的数据。虽然基于媒体报道与失业率之间的交互作用，非加性模型得到了支持，但它并未被证明比加性模型更有效。然而，需要未来的研究对非加性论点进行系统测试。
