| Summary: | Therelation between degree of religiosity and vulnerability to suicidal attempts or plans poses an important question for contemporary theories of depression. A team of clinical judges categorized 118 depressed outpatients among Afghan refugees on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (absent) to 3 (severe). Every patient was rated individually on 4 different variables. A chi-square test was applied to see the statistical association between categorical attributes. The results support the hypothesis that the patients with a higher degree of religiosity are less vulnerable to suicidal attempts or plans. |
