Heavy Metal, Religiosity, and Suicide Acceptability.
Stack, Steven
Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, v28 n4 p388-94 Win 1998
Reports on data taken from the General Social Survey that found a link between "heavy metal" rock fanship and suicide acceptability. Finds that relationship becomes nonsignificant once level of religiosity is controlled. Heavy metal fans are low in religiosity, which contributes to greater suicide acceptability. (Author/JDM)
