Changes in Internet Suicide Search Volumes Following Celebrity Suicides

Abstract: Celebrity suicides that are reported heavily in the media may increase risk for others' suicidal behavior. This study examined whether Internet search volumes for suicide-related terms changed after three celebrity suicide deaths (Robin Williams, Chester Bennington, and Alexander McQueen) and three celebrities who died by means other than suicide (David Bowie, Azzedine Alaia, and Paul Walker). Suicide search terms included suicide, how to suicide, commit suicide, depression, hanging, and suicide prevention. Ob… Show more

“…The German word “Schadenfreude” has been used to describe the interest in the failure of others (Pietraszkiewicz, 2013 ). The present study showed an interest in failures online during debrief, demonstrating that failures could serve as a source of “clickbait” for some cultures (Ortiz et al, 2019 ). The most serious instances of online failures occur when people webcast their suicides (Phillips & Mann, 2019 ).…”

Na presente pesquisa, o termo "Como se matar" foi o que mais se correlacionou com a mortalidade por suicídio no Brasil, o que está em consonância com esses achados prévios.…”

“…Outro estudo mostrou correlação entre o termo "como suicidar" e óbitos entre mulheres (LEE, 2020). Ortiz et al (2019) identificaram que buscas por termos como "suicídio", "cometer suicídio" e "como suicidar" foram significantemente maiores após o suicídio de celebridades, sugerindo possível efeito de contágio (efeito Werther) (ORTIZ et al, 2019).…”
