Abstract

For this research project, we asked questions regarding free will and determinism. Then we asked a question on which phrase you prefer, "commit suicide" or "die by suicide". We wanted to see if there was any relationship with answering the questions more towards the free will side or the determinism side, and how that relates to which phrase each participant chooses.

Commit Suicide vs. Die by Suicide

For this research project, we asked questions regarding free will and determinism. Then we asked a question on which phrase you prefer, "commit suicide" or "die by suicide". We wanted to see if there was any relationship with answering the questions more towards the free will side or the determinism side, and how that relates to which phrase each participant chooses.
