Effects of Personal and Situational Factors on Attitudes toward Suicide.

Droogas, Athena; And Others

Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, v13 n2 p127-44 1982-83

Undergraduates (N=80) responded to 16 fictional suicide case histories with judgments indicating their perception of the "justifiability" of the suicidal act. Results showed that personal characteristics of the suicidal individual made little difference, but the nature of the crisis confronting the suicidal individual affected judgments of justifiability.
