“…Similar to our study, most studies from other countries find more accepting attitudes about suicide among those with more education (Salander Renberg & Jacobsson, 2003; Singh, Williams, & Ryther, 1986) so this appears to be a robust relationship cross-nationally. The higher acceptability of suicide among females found in our study is also found in some, but not all, studies from other countries (Agnew, 1998; Beautrais, Horwood, & Fergusson, 2004; Hjelmeland et al, 2008; Joe, Romer, & Jamieson, 2007; Kocmur & Dernovšek, 2003; Parker, Cantrell, & Demi, 1997; Salander Renberg & Jacobsson, 2003; Zemaitiene & Zaborskis, 2005); the finding in China could be related to the relatively high rate of suicide in Chinese females compared to that in other countries (WHO, 2002). Controversy remains about the relationship of age to attitudes about the acceptability of suicide (Salander Renberg et al, 2008; Salander Renberg & Jacobsson, 2003; Segal, Mincic, Coolidge, & O’Riley, 2004); the decreasing acceptability of suicide as individuals age (after adjusting for educational level) found in our study may be a reflection of an underlying culturally conditioned conservatism that results in increasing intolerance to all forms of social deviance (including suicidal behavior) as one ages.…”

“…Studies from high-income countries uniformly report that persons who hold strong religious beliefs are less accepting of suicide (Agnew, 1998; Eskin, 2004; Joe et al . 2007; Neeleman, Wessely, & Lewis, 1998; Singh et al, 1986; Stein et al, 1992).…”

“…Most studies find a positive relationship between accepting attitudes and suicidal ideation and behavior (Beautrais et al . 2004; Eskin, 2004; Colucci & Martin, 2007; Etzersdorfer, Vijayakumar, Schöny, Grausgruber, & Sonneck, 1998; Gibb et al, 2006; Joe et al . 2007; Kocmur & Dernovšek, 2003; Salander Renberg & Jacobsson, 2003; Stein, Brom, Elizur, & Witztum, 1998; Stein et al, 1992; Zemaitiene & Zaborskis, 2005), but some studies find no clear association between attitude changes and changes in suicidal behavior (Cleary & Brannik, 2007; Robertson & Cochrane, 1976) and other studies find a negative relationship (Platt, 1989; Sale, Williams, Clark, & Millis, 1975).…”

Background Community attitudes about suicide and their relationship to suicidal behavior have not been adequately investigated in low- and middle-income countries. Aims Compare acceptability of suicide in different population cohorts in China, identify factors that affect the degree of acceptability, and assess the relationship of cohort-specific acceptability of suicide and suicide rates. Methods A multi-stage stratified random sample of 608 rural residents, 582 urban residents and 629 college students were administered a 25-item scale in which respondents stated the likelihood they would consider suicide (on a 5-point Likert scale) if they experienced a variety of stressors ranging from ‘being disciplined at work’ to ‘developing a chronic mental illness’. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability for the scale are excellent (Cronbach’s α =0.92, ICC=0.75). Results College students had the most permissive attitudes about suicide and urban residents were significantly more accepting of suicide as a response to serious life stressors than rural residents. Multivariate analysis found that the overall acceptability score was higher in women, decreased with age, and increased with years of education. Conclusions There was no clear relationship between cohort-specific acceptance of suicide and reported rates of suicide, highlighting the complexity of the relationship between attitudes about suicide (of which acceptability is only one component) and suicidal behavior.

“…None the less, cultural attitudes regarding suicide may vary by community, population cohort, and throughout time (Salander Renberg et al 2008). Additional literature suggests that measuring attitudes toward suicide may aid in predicting suicidal behaviour and death by suicide (Joe et al 2007;Stack and Kposowa 2006). Furthermore, studies have also indicated that changing an individual's attitude towards suicide is an efficient way to prevent death by suicidal attempts (Sakamoto et al 2006).…”

This descriptive study examined gender differences related to attitudes toward suicide among randomly selected urban residents. Data was collected using a standardized questionnaire through face-to-face interview. Our findings revealed that men hold more pro preventive attitudes to help persons with suicidal thoughts (80.3 %, p = 0.05) and agreed that suicidal attempts are impulsive (78.6 %, p = 0.01). However, they hold permissive attitude to help persons with incurable diseases and expressing death wishes to die (66 %, p = 0.05). A majority of men (78.6 %) than women agreed that "suicidal attempt is essentially a cry for help" (χ (2) = 11.798, p = 0.05). These gender differences need to be taken into consideration when developing appropriate programs to prevent suicide. Further, decriminalizing the law, high-quality research and raising awareness about suicide prevention among the general population is crucial in developing countries like India.

“…O suicídio é a terceira causa de morte entre os jovens estadunidenses (Joe et al, 2007). Na América Latina, há maior incidência de conduta suicida nos jovens entre 15 e 19 anos de idade (Gutiérrez et al, 2009), havendo estimativas que apontam para o fato de que, a cada oito jovens, um tenta se suicidar (Psic, 2011).…”
