Mortality rates and aggression management among Native Americans.
Using data from the general USA population, Field reported that various causes of death correlated with measures of aggression management obtained from suicide and homicide rates. Since in this study replication of these findings cross-culturally was not successful with data for US Indian Health Service areas and Field did not explain his ecological correlations, the reliability and validity of his findings may be questioned.
