Peer reviewedStack, Steven; Wasserman, Ira – Journal of Marriage and the Family, 1995
Explores the influence of marriage and family factors, including religiosity, on suicide beliefs or ideology using a national sample of 1,197 African Americans. Being married lowers prosuicide ideology, but institutional ties to religion are considerably more important than marital ties. The model is replicated for whites. (JPS)
