The influence of religion on attitudes toward suicide was explored, using a representative sample (N = 2,034) of 15- to 30-year-old Germans. The dependent variable was approval vs. disapproval of suicide in hopeless situations. A logit model that fits the data includes the variables of denomination, church attendance, education, and suicide of an acquaintance as well as a Church Attendance x Suicide of an Acquaintance interaction. Gender did not improve the fit of the model. The results of the analysis indicated that church attendance and Catholicism decreased support for suicide. The effect of religiosity on attitudes about suicide was not affected by gender or by education.
本研究以2034名15至30岁的德国人为代表性样本，探讨了宗教对自杀态度的影响。因变量是在绝望情境下对自杀的赞成与反对。一个拟合数据的逻辑模型包括教派、教堂礼拜出席情况、教育程度、熟人自杀等变量，以及教堂礼拜出席情况与熟人自杀的交互作用。性别并未改善模型的拟合度。分析结果表明，教堂礼拜出席情况和天主教信仰降低了对自杀的支持。宗教信仰对自杀态度的影响不受性别或教育程度的影响。
