Interplay of Formal and Material Role-Taking in the Understanding of Suicide Among Adolescents and Young Adults:II. Naive Suicide Theories in the Structural Approach.

Dobert, Rainer; Nunner-Winkler, Gertrud

Human Development, v28 n6 p313-30 Nov-Dec 1985

Constructs a tentative stage model of the development of the understanding of suicide motives, based on interview data from 14- to 22-year-old male and female subjects of different SES backgrounds. Development is characterized by these trends: extension of time perspective; differentiation and individualization of actor schemata and motive language; expansion of the action space, and an increase in self-reflexivity (Author/NH).
