Abstract
The Relation between Heredity and Suicidal Behavior has many
different experiments to use as examples. Some say that most
individuals inherit the suicidal behavior and other does not.
This paper will examine different experiments on the outcome
of this topic and what might be influenced by genes that might
run in a family. Then again there are the other factors that might
show the influence of other suicidal behaviors. The outcome
will provide different articles that will provide information on
the behavior characteristics of suicidal behavior and what the
interpersonal psychology theory of suicidal behavior just might
be.

The Relation between Heredity and Suicidal Behavior
Introduction
The paper will focus on examining the relation between heredity
and suicidal behavior and also look into the interpersonal
psychology theory of suicidal behavior.
The paper will seek to affirm that suicidal behavior is
influenced by genes that run in the family lineage and as such it
could be inherited. Various theories can be used to explain the
relationship between hereditary and suicidal behavior.
One these theories are Interpersonal psychology theory of
suicidal behavior.
This theory provides

3. that, acquired capability, belongingness and burdensome are the
3 main determinants of suicidal behavior.
The paper will also provide articles review on the interpersonal
psychology theory of suicidal behavior.
The Research questions
This paper is guided by the research question; what does the
research show about the relation between heredity and suicidal
behavior. This will help in formulating the best research
methods and topics for the study.
Article review
Article 1
In the International
Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology
a meta-analysis research paper on the Brain-derived
neurotrophic factor gene in suicidal behavior is presented. This
is a meta-analysis work that looks into the brain-derived
neurotrophic factor gene in suicidal behavior. The analysis links
the BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor) to suicidal
behavior amongst individuals. The paper uses data from
previously published samples and also its own present sample of
3352 subjects among which 1202 have a history of suicidal
behavior. The analysis provides a trend in which the Met allele
and genotypes carrying Met confer the risk of suicide and are
also associated with the history of suicide attempts. The
research therefore concludes that the BDNF (brain-derived
neurotrophic factor) is a contributing factor to suicidality. The
research gives room for investigating the role of BDNF in
suicidal behavior (Zai, Manchia, De Luca, Tiwari, Chowdhury,
Zai, Kennedy, 2012).
Article 2

4. An article presented by
(Smith, Ribeiro, Mikolajewski, Taylor, Joiner, Iacono, 2012)
sought to examine of environmental and genetic contributions to
the determinants of suicidal behavior among male twins. This is
an original psychiatric research published in 2012. It examines
the genetic and environmental contributions to the determinants
of suicidal behavior among male wins. In light of the
interpersonal psychology theory of suicide, the research focused
on the individual differences in the proximal, jointly necessary
and sufficient causes of suicidal behavior. According to the
interpersonal psychology theory, acquired capability,
belongingness and burdensome are the 3 main determinants of
suicidal behavior. The research uses a sample of 348 male twins
in their adolescent age and employs univariate biometric models
to help estimate how the variance in belongingness, acquired
capabilities and burdensomeness are affected by the magnitudes
of non-additive genetic (D), additive genetic (A), non-shared
environmental (E) and shared environmental (C) (Smith,
Ribeiro, Mikolajewski, Taylor, Joiner, Iacono, 2012).
The research results showed that the best fitting model for
acquired capability allowed for environmental and genetic
effects, while the best fitting model for belongingness and
burdensomeness allowed for non-shared and shared
environmental effects. The research findings also provide that
burdensomeness and belongingness could be more appropriate
target for intervention compared to acquired capabilities (Smith
et al, 2012).
Article 3
Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology
presents a case study on familial clustering of suicidal behavior
and psychopathology in young suicide attempters. This is a case
study that focuses on the familial clustering of suicidal behavior

5. and psychopathology in young suicide attempts. Besides
borrowing from previously done studies the case study takes the
form of a population-based record-linkage study with a nested
control design. The results show that out of the sample used,
almost 47% of all the suicide attempts are likely to be
connected to family psychopathology, and 13% are associated
with family suicide attempt while 7% are associated with
suicide completion and the remaining 25% are associated with
their own psychology. The research provides that the evaluation
of the suicidal behavior in families would form a great base for
risk assessment especially among young psychiatric patients
(Mittendorfer-Rutz, Rasmussen, Wasserman, 2008).
