Sample text
The suicide can be predicted based on the basic laws of learning. Suicide is shaped behaviour—the behaviour was and is reinforced in his/her environment. 4. The suicidal person’s thoughts provide the stimuli; suicide (response) is imagined. Cognitions (such as self-praise) can be reinforcers for the act. 5. The suicidal person’s expectancies play a critical role in the suicide—he/she expects reinforcement (reward) by the act. 6. Depression, especially the cognitive components, is strongly associated with the suicide.
He/she is figuratively intoxicated or drugged by his/her overpowering emotions and constricted logic and perception. 8. The suicidal person needs or wishes to egress. He/she wants to leave (the scene), to exit, to get out, to get away, to be gone, not to be around, to be “elsewhere”. . not to be. 9. There is a serial pattern to the suicide. The suicidal person exhibits patterns of behaviour that diminish or truncate his/her life, which subtract from its length or reduce its scope. 10. The person’s suicide has unconscious psychodynamic implications.
The suicidal person’s affective reaction is proportional to the labelling of the traumatic situation, regardless of the actual intensity of the event. 9. Irrespective of whether the affect is sadness, anger, anxiety, or euphoria, the more intense the affect the greater the perceived plausibility of the associated cognitions. 10. The suicidal person, being hopeless and not wanting to tolerate the pain (suffering), desires to escape. Death is thought of as more desirable than life. Social Learning The social learning view has been summarized by Lester (1987): Albert Bandura and psychologists in the classical (Pavlov) and operant (Skinner) traditions are the best-known theorists in this view.
