自我报告的自杀行为和对自杀的态度在心理学学生的报告和比较在加纳，乌干达和挪威。只有在自己的自杀行为中发现了微小的差异。然而，乌干达的自杀行为比加纳和挪威更常见。尽管这三个国家在对自杀的态度上存在差异，这强调了文化敏感性研究和预防的必要性，但许多差异并没有预期的那么大。最明显的区别是，与非洲学生相比，挪威学生更不愿意在这些问题上表明立场。在这两个非洲国家之间也发现了一些差异。自杀预防在非洲的结果的影响进行了讨论。
Self-reported suicidal behavior and attitudes toward suicide in psychology students are reported and compared in Ghana, Uganda, and Norway. Small differences only were found in own suicidal behavior. However, experience of suicidal behavior in the surroundings was more common in Uganda than in Ghana and Norway. Although differences were found between the three countries in attitudes toward suicide, which emphasizes the need for culture-sensitive research and prevention, many of the differences were not as big as expected. The most pronounced difference was that the Norwegian students were more reluctant to take a stand on these questions compared to their African counterparts. Some differences were also found between the two African countries. The implications of the results for suicide prevention in Africa are discussed.
