A Test of Durkheim's Theory of Suicide in Primitive Societies.
Lester, David
Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, v22 n3 p388-95 Fall 1992
Classified primitive societies as high, moderate, or low on independent measures of social integration and social regulation to test Durkheim's theory of suicide. Estimated frequency of suicide did not differ between those societies predicted to have high, moderate, and low suicide rates. Durkheim's theory was not confirmed. (Author/NB)
