The present research was an attempt to test two hypotheses derived from a recently proposed social psychological model of suicide: The acceptability of suicide is a decreasing function of religiosity and fear of death. Questionnaire data were collected for 205 undergraduates at a midwestern university in 1978. The questionnaire included several measures of religiosity, a factor analysis multidimensional fear of death scale, and a suicide acceptability scale. Results, showing that all of the religiosity measures and certain types of fear of death were significantly related to the acceptability of suicide, supported to the hypotheses under examination.
自杀的可接受性是宗教信仰程度和对死亡恐惧程度的递减函数。1978年，对美国中西部一所大学的205名本科生收集了问卷数据。问卷包括宗教信仰程度的多项测量、死亡恐惧多维度量表的因子分析以及自杀可接受性量表。结果表明，所有宗教信仰程度测量指标以及特定类型的死亡恐惧与自杀可接受性显著相关，支持了所检验的假设。
