Suicides blamed on 'over-striving'
Many individuals who commit suicide are "over-strivers," Charles Neuringer, KU assistant professor of psychology, said yesterday in Dyche Auditorium.
Neuringer, using data from a research study on suicide, described the potential suicide victim as an individual who emphasized achievement in education, occupation and military service.
"RESEARCH DATA indicates that individuals who commit suicide have relatively few difficulties in school and have more friends than many students. They go far in school and have above normal intellectual achievement," said Neuringer.
Those who committed suicide also achieved high military ratings, especially in the Marine Corps and Air Force.
There is a low incidence of divorce and remarriage among suicide victims, he said. Victims also spend more time at home than those who do not commit suicide.
"The suicide-prone person also is dependent on others for gratification and is dissatisfied with his life. He constantly demands personal attention and shows inflexibility." Neuringer said.
PSYCHOLOGISTS used case studies of male, neuropsychiatric patients in the study. The control group consisted of Veteran's Administration patients who had
not committed suicide, he continued.
"This project was an 'idea-generating' study designed to provide clues on suicidal behavior. The results, at best, are suggestive and do not form a finished study." Neuringer said.
Although the initial research study is highly speculative, Neuringer noted, the research project may help formulate programs to prevent many suicide incidences.
