Examined college students' (n=118) attributions about suicide. Male athletes who suicided were judged more emotionally well adjusted than males who suicided because of relationship failure and all females. Athletes of both sexes who suicided were judged more competent and less distressed than individuals who suicided because of failed relationships. Females were seen as more distressed than males.
