Günümüzde intihar vakaları artmasına rağmen intihar ile ilgili yapılan çalışmalar oldukça sınırlıdır. Bu çalışmada henüz yazında çok bulunmayan, siber alana yansıyan intihar vakalarının yapısını anlayabilmek için ülkemizde meydana gelmiş bir intihar vakasının adli psikoloji bakış açısıyla ele alınması amaçlanmaktadır. İncelenecek vakayı belirlemek için Türkiye’nin internet arşivi (Facebook, Twitter, İnstagram ve Youtube gibi sosyal medyada paylaşılan kamuya açık dijital veriler) ve ulusal gazetelerinde yer alan 1.298 intihar girişimi haberinden,1 Ocak 2014 ve 1 Ocak 2020 tarihleri arasındaki 11 e-intihar vakası taranmıştır. Daha sonrasında elde edilen haberler detaylı olarak incelenmiştir. Tüm detayları (intihar eden bireyin cinsiyeti, yaşı, kendini öldürme nedeni ve yöntemi) kapsayan vakalar içerisinden rastgele seçim yöntemiyle ülkemizde gerçekleşmiş sosyal medya üzerinden paylaşılan ilk e-intihar vakası incelenmek üzere seçilmiştir. Ele alınan vaka 35 yaşında bir erkektir. Veri olarak seçilen çevrim içi video belgesi, yazıya dökülerek, tümevarım ile anlamsal düzey tema analiz metodu kullanılmış olup, derinlemesine psikodilbilimsel analiz yapılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre kategoriler; “duygular”, “algılar”, “fonksiyonlar” ve “düşlemler” olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Video paylaşımının ardından ailenin, müntehirin evine ulaştığı ve müntehirin doğalgaz borusuna iple asılı halde bulunduğu bildirilmiştir. Olayla ilgili adli incelemeler yapılmıştır. Bu vakadan da görüldüğü üzere siber alan intihar notları kamuya açık, ulaşılabilir bir yapıdadır. İntiharın dinamiklerini anlayabilmek için bir vaka üzerinden değerlendirme yapmak mevcut erişilebilir veri gözetildiğinde işlevsel olacaktır. Bununla beraber bu konuyla ilgili bilimsel çalışmaların arttırılması gerekmektedir. Mevcut bulguların, e-intihar notu bırakan kişinin kendilik algısı ve diğerleriyle ilişkilerine yönelik derinlemesine bilgi sunduğu düşünülmektedir. Nitel analizin doğası gereği, bulgular genellenebilir olmamakla birlikte uygulama ortamlarında ve sosyal medyada intihar eğilimi olan kişilerin belirlenmesi ve önleme çalışmalarında mevcut bulgular değerlendirilebilir.

Psycholinguistic analysis of an e-suicide note

Öz

Although suicide cases are increasing today, studies on suicide are quite limited. In this study, it is aimed to handle a suicide case that occurred in our country from the perspective of forensic psychology in order to understand the structure of suicide cases reflected in the cyber field, which are not yet found in the literature. 11 e-suicide cases between January 1, 2014 and January 1, 2020, from 1,298 suicide attempts in Turkey's internet archive (public digital data shared on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube) and national newspapers to determine the case to be examined. scanned. Afterwards, the news obtained were examined in detail. The first case of e-suicide, which took place in our country and shared on social media, was selected for examination by random selection method among the cases covering all the details (sex, age, reason and method of suicide of the individual who committed suicide). The case discussed is a 35-year-old male. The online video document selected as data was transcribed and the semantic level theme analysis method was used with induction, and an in-depth psycholinguistic analysis was carried out. Categories according to the analysis results; classified as “feelings”, “perceptions”, “functions” and “phantasies”. It was reported that after the video sharing, the family arrived at the victim's house and was found hanging by a rope from the natural gas pipe. Forensic investigations have been made about the incident. As can be seen from this case, cyberspace suicide notes are publicly accessible and accessible. Evaluating a case in order to understand the dynamics of suicide will be functional given the available available data. However, scientific studies on this subject need to be increased. It is thought that the present findings provide in-depth information on the self-perception and relationships of the person leaving the e-suicide note. Due to the nature of the qualitative analysis, although the findings are not generalizable, the current findings can be evaluated in the determination and prevention studies of people with suicidal tendencies in practice environments and social media.
