Opinions About and Reactions to Suicide, and the Social Acceptance of a Suicidal Classmate Among Turkish High School Students

Mehmet Eskin

The Department of Psychology, Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden

The present study investigated the opinions about suicide and reactions to a suicidal peer among 89 female and 78 male Turkish high school students. Females more than males believed that suicide should be discussed among friends. More males than females perceived suicidal persons to be mentally ill and to be punished in the other world. Females showed greater acceptance for a suicidal classmate than males. An attitude for openly discussing suicide was associated with higher acceptance of a suicidal classmate. Perceiving suicidal individuals to be mentally ill was associated with lower acceptance of a suicidal peer.
