Eighty-five young adults exposed to a cluster of peer suicides as adolescents completed measures of attitudes toward suicide, grief, and social support. Closeness to the peers lost to suicide was positively correlated with grief and the belief that suicide is not preventable, with grief further elevated in close individuals with high social support from friends. Overall, social support was related to healthy attitudes about suicide including preventability, yet it was also related to some stigmatizing beliefs. Compared with 67 young adults who had not been exposed to a suicide cluster, the exposed sample was more likely to think that suicide is normal but more likely to think of it as incomprehensible.
85名在青少年时期接触过同伴自杀事件的年轻人完成了对自杀态度、悲伤情绪和社会支持的测量。与因自杀离世的同伴的亲近程度与悲伤情绪以及认为自杀不可预防的信念呈正相关，在从朋友那里获得高社会支持的亲近个体中，悲伤情绪进一步加剧。总体而言，社会支持与对自杀的健康态度（包括可预防性）相关，但也与一些污名化信念有关。与67名未接触过自杀事件群的年轻人相比，接触过的样本更有可能认为自杀是正常的，但也更有可能认为自杀难以理解。
