Factors Affecting the Acceptability of Suicide.
Deluty, Robert H.
Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, v19 n4 p315-26 1988-89
College students (N=780) read 1 of 12 scenarios of person who decided to commit suicide. Scenarios varied by age of victim (45 versus 70), gender, and illness (chronic depression, chronic physical pain, terminal bone cancer). Suicide evaluations tended to be significantly more favorable when evaluators were male, victims were male, victims were older, or terminal illness was precipitating illness. (Author/NB)
