Abstract
The present study sought cross-cultural replication of studies reporti ng positive correlations for the percent of women in the labor force a nd suicide rates for men, supporting status integration theory. Contra ry to expectations, data from the U.S. Indian Health Service areas yie lded a significant, positive Pearson correlation coefficient for women but a nonsignificant correlation for men. Implications for cross-cult ural research on status integration and suicide are discussed.
