尽管关于老年人自杀的某些方面的文献越来越多，但人们对老年人对自杀的具体态度知之甚少。本研究调查了96名年轻人和79名老年人对自杀和自杀风险的态度。参与者完成自杀意见问卷和自杀风险量表。在自杀风险方面，年轻人的得分明显高于老年人。在态度方面，老年人在15个子量表中的7个得分明显高于年轻人，这表明对于老年人来说，自杀更容易被接受，与缺乏宗教信仰的关系更密切，更致命，更正常，更不可逆转或永久，与人口统计学的关系更密切，与个人方面的关系更密切。这意味着老年人对自杀持有适应和不适应的态度，这可能有助于为老年人自杀的研究、预防和治疗提供社会和文化背景。
Despite a burgeoning literature on some aspects of elder suicide, little is known about the specific attitudes that older people hold about suicide. The present study examined attitudes toward suicide and suicidal risk among 96 younger and 79 older adults. Participants completed the Suicide Opinion Questionnaire and the Suicide Risk Scale. Regarding suicidal risk, younger adults scored significantly higher than older adults. Regarding attitudes, older adults scored significantly higher than younger adults on 7 of 15 subscales, indicating that for older adults, suicide was more acceptable, more strongly related to a lack of religious conviction, more lethal, more normal, more irreversible or permanent, more strongly related to demographics, and more strongly related to individual aspects. An implication is that older adults hold both adaptive and maladaptive attitudes about suicide that may be useful in providing a social and cultural context to the study, prevention, and treatment of elder suicide.
