Abstract

Durkheim's assertion that Catholicism has a negative impact on suicide, often referred to as sociology's "one law," has been seriously challenged in recent years. This paper re-examines the "one law" in relation to Durkheim's observation that the greatest potential for individuals to be integrated into society is found in urban areas. Using 3,108 United States counties categorized by degree of urbanization, the findings provide support for the "one law" and the integrative potential of urban areas. The data also suggest that sociological explanations are perhaps best suited to explain social life in urban rather than rural contexts.

社会学的一个规律:城市语境中的宗教与自杀。

涂尔干关于天主教对自杀有负面影响的断言，通常被称为社会学的“一条法则”，近年来受到了严重的挑战。本文根据迪尔凯姆关于个人融入社会的最大潜力存在于城市地区的观察，重新审视了“一个法则”。以美国3108个按城市化程度分类的县为例，研究结果为“一个规律”和城市地区的综合潜力提供了支持。这些数据还表明，社会学的解释也许更适合解释城市而不是农村的社会生活。
