Bystander Effect02:09

Bystander Effect

9.6K
The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross significantly advanced psychology's understanding of the process of dying with her influential book, On Death and Dying (1969).

Fundamental Attribution Error

According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Mental Health Research

Background:

  • Suicide among persons experiencing homelessness (PEH) is a critical public health issue.
  • Disparities in suicide risk and circumstances among PEH require detailed characterization.

Approach:

  • Analysis of National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) data (2003-2018) comparing PEH suicide victims with housed victims.
  • Utilized Point-in-Time (PIT) survey data (2010-2018) and census estimates to calculate suicide rates.

Key Points:

  • PEH constituted 1.1% of suicide victims, disproportionate to their 0.2% population rate.
  • PEH suicide victims were more likely to be younger, Black, male, nonveterans, and have substance use disorders.
  • PEH were more likely to have a history of suicidal ideation, attempts, and disclosure of intent, especially to healthcare workers.

Conclusions:

  • PEH are significantly overrepresented among suicide victims.
  • Circumstances surrounding PEH suicides highlight opportunities for targeted prevention and intervention strategies.
