Banality Reinvestigated: A Computer-Based Content Analysis of Suicidal and Forced Death Documents

Henken, Valerie J.

Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, 6, 1, 36-43, Spr 76

This paper, presented at the Eastern Psychological Association Convention, New York, 1975, shows how suicide and simulated notes and forced-death documents were processed on the Harvard III Psycho-Sociological Dictionary. Frequencies of related words were generated and contrasted with each other. Results indicated suicidal groups were more "deviant." (Author)
