TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Hopelessness and suicidality in Turkish and American respondents JO - OMEGA - Journal of death and dying A1 - Gençöz, Faruk A1 - Vatan, Sevginar A1 - Walker, Rheeda L. A1 - Lester, David SP - 311 EP - 319 VL - 55 IS - 4 N2 - In samples of both Turkish and American students, the correlates of suicidal ideation were found to be similar, with depression, hopelessness, and attitudes toward the ownership of life predicting the level of suicidal ideation in both samples. Results using a Western measure of religiosity, however, were different in the two cultures, indicating the need for measures of religiosity specifically tailored for Turkish culture.
