根据1970-1994年25年期间丹麦15岁及15岁以上的32,291名自杀者的数据,研究了自杀与生日、自杀与公共假日之间的关系。研究发现,有证据支持重大公众假期的“失信效应”理论,因为似乎有相当数量的自杀事件从假期前推迟到假期后。将假日分为非工作日和(半工作)工作日表明,“假日效应”只能在主要的公共假日,特别是圣诞节、复活节和圣灵降临节前后发现。推迟或转移效应与预防有关,特别是因为在主要公共(非工作)假期结束时和之后可以获得帮助。
The relationship between suicide and birthdays, and suicide and public holidays has been studied from data on 32,291 Danish suicides by persons ages 15 years and older in the 25-year period 1970-1994. Evidence was found to support the theory of the "broken-promise effect" for major public holidays in that there appears to be a postponement of a significant number of suicides from before a holiday until after. The division of holidays into nonworking and (half-time) working days showed that a "holiday effect" could only be found around major public holidays, particularly Christmas, Easter, and Whitsun. The postponing or transpositioning effect is relevant to prevention, especially because of the availability and accessibility of help at the end of and after major public (nonworking) holidays.
