Abstract:
Indigenous suicide prevention continues to be dominated by individual-focused interventions that neglect historical, cultural, and structural contexts. This article reviews culturo-behavior systems science (CBSS) as a complementary analytic approach that extends the transactional-ecological model proposed by Alcántara and Gone (2007). CBSS concepts, including macrocontingency, metacontingency, elaborated metacontingency, culturo-behavioral hypercycle, and matrix analysis, are introduced and applied to Indigenous life-promotion initiatives. Using illustrative examples, we show how CBSS can clarify multilevel contingencies, feedback systems, and systemic selectors that shape the organization and sustainability of life-promoting practices. CBSS aligns with Indigenous relational worldviews and offers analytic tools for examining culturally grounded, community-led approaches to life promotion.
