Suicidal activity among youths has increased dramatically in recent years, yet little objective research in non-hospital settings has been conducted. The present study analyzed attitudes of suicidal ideator and nonideator groups at elementary, middle, and high school levels. Responses to the Student Attitude Measure (S.A.M.) were analyzed with a multivariate analysis of variance. Ideators' attitudes were found to be significantly more negative than those of nonideators. Some grade level and gender differences also were revealed. The ability of this instrument to differentiate potentially suicidal youths from their nonsuicidal peers has the potential for providing schools with a critical proactive strategy.
近年来，青少年中的自杀行为急剧增加，但在非医院环境中进行的客观研究却很少。本研究分析了小学、初中和高中阶段有自杀念头者和无自杀念头者群体的态度。使用多因素方差分析对学生态度量表（S.A.M.）的回答进行了分析。发现有自杀念头者的态度明显比无自杀念头者更消极。还揭示了一些年级水平和性别差异。该工具将潜在自杀青少年与非自杀同龄人区分开来的能力，有可能为学校提供一种关键的积极主动策略。
