Abstract

Survivors' adaptation to a suicide loss is likely influenced by their attitudes toward suicide and their respective sociocultural contexts. Our study aimed to compare suicide attitudes and their association with depressive symptoms and sense of community safety in Japanese and American suicide loss survivors. A total of 193 Japanese survivors and 232 American survivors completed online surveys. The results show that Japanese survivors tended not to consider suicide as an illness or to recognize that others understood their experience but were more likely than American survivors to consider suicide as justifiable. Regression analyses indicated that taking suicide as a right was associated with depressive symptoms. Further, their sense of being understood by others was positively correlated with perceived community safety in both samples, but justifying suicide and considering it to be an illness was positively related to perceived community safety only among Japanese survivors.

自杀损失幸存者的自杀态度及其对损失的适应:日本和美国的跨文化研究。
幸存者对自杀损失的适应可能受到他们对自杀的态度和他们各自的社会文化背景的影响。本研究旨在比较日本和美国自杀幸存者的自杀态度及其与抑郁症状和社区安全感的关系。共有193名日本幸存者和232名美国幸存者完成了在线调查。结果显示,日本幸存者倾向于不认为自杀是一种疾病,也不认为其他人理解他们的经历,但与美国幸存者相比,日本幸存者更有可能认为自杀是正当的。回归分析表明,将自杀作为一种权利与抑郁症状相关。此外,在两个样本中,他们被他人理解的感觉与感知社区安全呈正相关,但只有在日本幸存者中,为自杀辩护和认为自杀是一种疾病与感知社区安全呈正相关。
