本研究旨在探讨自杀可接受性与宗教福祉之间的关系，并调查非裔美国自杀企图者和非自杀者在这两个概念上可能存在的差异。对 200 名低收入非裔美国人进行了自我报告问卷调查，衡量自杀的可接受性和宗教福祉。研究结果表明，对于自杀未遂者和非自杀者来说，自杀可接受性与宗教福祉呈负相关。这两个群体在自杀可接受性和宗教幸福感方面也存在显着差异。结果与之前的研究结果一致，该研究表明，与未尝试自杀的非裔美国人相比，尝试自杀的非裔美国人对自杀的接受度更高，但宗教幸福感却较低。这些发现对于为低收入少数民族人口服务的文化社区规划和社区心理健康项目具有重要意义。
This study was designed to examine the relationship between suicide acceptability and religious well-being, and to investigate the differences that may exist between African American suicide attempters and non-attempters on these two concepts. Two hundred low-income, African Americans were administered self-report questionnaires measuring suicide acceptability and religious wellbeing. Findings indicated that suicide acceptability was negatively related to religious well-being for both suicide attempters and non-attempters. There was also a significant difference between these two groups on suicide acceptability and religious wellbeing. Results were consistent with previous research that suggests that African Americans who attempt suicide endorse higher levels of suicide acceptability and lower levels of religious wellbeing than do their nonattempter counterparts. These findings have important implications for culturally-competent community programming and community mental health programs that serve low-income ethnic minority populations.
