Music preference, depression, suicidal preoccupation, and personality: comment on Stack and Gundlach's papers.
In a sample of students, preference for country and western music was not associated with depression or suicidal preoccupation as has been suggested by Stack and Gundlach. However, preference for heavy metal music was associated with prior suicidal ideation. Stronger associations were found between music preferences and measures of psychoticism and extraversion.

Explaining regional differences in suicide rates.
Social characteristics of the states of America in 1959-1961 predicted the suicide rate of those born in noncontiguous states and abroad, but not the suicide rates of those born in-state or in contiguous states. The results were seen as supporting the selective migration explanation of state suicide rates and as not supporting composition and local area explanations.

The concentration of neurotransmitter metabolites in the cerebrospinal fluid of suicidal individuals: a meta-analysis.
A review of 27 research reports on the cerebrospinal fluid levels of neurotransmitter metabolites involving 1202 psychiatric patients found strong evidence for the involvement of the serotonin system in suicidal behavior. Attempted suicides, especially those using violent methods, had lower levels of CSF 5-HIAA as compared to psychiatric controls, and those making subsequent suicidal actions also had lower levels of CSF 5-HIAA. The meta-analysis permitted more reliable conclusions to be drawn than did each individual study alone.
