Attitudes toward Suicide: A Comparison of Canadian and U.S. College Students.

Domino, George; Leenaars, Antoon A.

Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, v19 n2 p160-72 Sum 1989

Administered Suicide Opinion Questionnaire (SOQ) to 100 Canadian and 100 United States college students. Found substantial intergroup differences, but no sex differences. Univariate analyses indicated significant differences on 8 of 15 SOQ factors, suggesting that Canadian college students perceive suicide as part of everyday life, not to be explained by recourse to religious, personality, or psychopathological constructs.
