Suicidality, Hopelessness, and Attitudes toward Life and Death in Children.
Cotton, C. Randy; Range, Lillian M.
Death Studies, v17 n2 p185-91 1993
Sixty elementary school students reported their own suicidal thoughts and behaviors on Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire and completed Hopelessness Scale for Children. Neither attitudes toward life and death nor hopelessness accounted for significant amount of variance in suicidal behaviors. Only significant correlation was between hopelessness and repulsiveness of death. Hopeless children were less repulsed by death. (Author/NB)
