Abstract

Social capital is an important theoretical construct often used to explain positive behavioral outcomes. However, suicide research is often hampered by a limited definition of social capital, at the expense of its multidimensional nature, since suicide may occur when individuals are beset by overwhelming and conflicting relationships. We hypothesize not all dimensions of social capital protect individuals from suicidal ideation, and the beneficial return from some types also gradually diminishes.
