Based on our regression model, much like the literature reviews an individual’s religiosity is actually the best predictor for their attitudes towards suicide. We believe this is due to having a social support network much like Pescosolido and Georgianna’s Networking Theory. However, in our particular model the individual’s race becomes inconsequential seeing as how it was actually removed from the model due to its lack of significance. We feel race could have been removed from the model because as time has moved forward blacks have become more integrated into mainstream American society, thus societal differences based on race are no longer as significant as they once were. The variable WhiteRace was the variable we chose to leave out of the regression model, so in comparison to WhiteRace, blacks and other (all other races beside black and white) did not have a significant enough difference to be able to account for the predictability of attitudes towards suicide. There were also two other variables removed from the model which proved to be insignificant despite the literature findings. The respondent’s age and gender, neither one affected their attitudes towards suicide despite what information was found in the literature reviews. Again for the same reason race was removed we feel gender was removed because females are beginning to take on more masculine roles and leaving behind more traditional female roles. We feel age became insignificant because a person can have strong social bonds especially religious ones despite their age which would fall under the Networking Theory. One important thing to note however is, much like our research findings the respondent’s level of education has a close relationship to their attitudes towards suicide. Meaning the higher the level of education the respondent has the more likely they are to agree with suicide. This does however go against our hypothesis (hypothesis b), but definitely agrees with the research findings. Going back to our original research question we feel the increase of suicides among educated blacks does not actually have to do with their race, but rather their integration into mainstream American society which previously was dominated by whites. The reason why we are currently seeing an increase in black male suicides, but not black female suicides, is because black females are not as far along in societal integration.
