abstract="A major limitation of research on attitudes toward suicide is that most measures lack evidence of a stable factor structure. To investigate the structure of the recently developed Stigma of Suicide Scale-Short Form (SOSS-SF), we conducted an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) in a sample of 499 undergraduates. <br><br>RESULTS revealed a 3-factor structure: Stigma, Isolation/Depression, and Glorification/Normalization. We also identified good convergent and discriminant validity between the SOSS-SF and related constructs. In a separate sample of 570 undergraduates, a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) demonstrated adequate fit for the 3-factor model. Additionally, a multiple group CFA demonstrated invariance across gender.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
