Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Sociology
    • Criminology

    Background:

    • Suicide pacts are infrequent but understudied phenomena.
    • They possess unique characteristics differentiating them from single suicide events.
    • Pact relationships significantly influence the nature of these suicides.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To delineate the distinct features of suicide pacts compared to individual suicides.
    • To analyze commonalities across different types of suicide pacts (dyadic, family, collective).
    • To identify key relational and initiator factors in suicide pacts.

    Main Methods:

    • Review and analysis of existing literature on suicide pacts.
    • Comparative examination of dyadic, family, and collective suicide cases.
    • Identification of recurring themes and characteristics within pact relationships.

    Main Results:

    • Suicide pacts are characterized by specific relational dynamics.
    • Common features include relationship exclusivity and isolation.
    • The presence of a dominant initiator is a frequent characteristic.

    Conclusions:

    • Suicide pacts represent a distinct category of suicidal behavior.
    • Understanding relationship dynamics is key to comprehending suicide pacts.
    • Further research into these specific contexts is warranted for targeted interventions.
