Suicide research has developed historically from philosophical roots in logical positivism and structural determinism. Thus, much suicide research has been based on assumptions of cause-and-effect relationships, reductionistic analysis, and the individual as the primary unit of analysis. In counterpoint, six guiding themes define feminist research (Worell & Etaugh, 1994). The present manuscript traces these six themes, illustrating them with suicide research projects. By challenging scientific tradition, focusing on women, considering power, recognizing gender constructs, maintaining awareness of the power of language, and promoting active, practical applications, researchers can combine traditional and alternative methodologies to make suicide research more robust.
自杀研究在历史上源于逻辑实证主义和结构决定论的哲学根源。因此，许多自杀研究基于因果关系假设、简化分析以及将个体作为主要分析单位。与之相对的是，女权主义研究有六个指导主题（沃雷尔和伊陶，1994年）。本手稿追溯这六个主题，并用自杀研究项目加以说明。通过挑战科学传统、关注女性、考虑权力、认识性别建构、保持对语言力量的认识以及促进积极的实际应用，研究人员可以将传统方法和替代方法结合起来，使自杀研究更加完善。
