TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - What is suicide? Will suicidologists ever agree? JO - Psychological reports A1 - Lester, David A1 - Fleck, Jessica SP - 189 EP - 192 VL - 106 IS - 1 N2 - 51 students and 20 experts judged 20 behaviors which might be considered to be suicide in a similar fashion with the exception that the experts were less likely to see a dog who refuses to eat and dies as a suicide. Applying models proposed for how people categorize objects, it is argued that both experts and lay people use a prototypical approach rather than a feature comparison approach for defining suicide.
