N2  - This paper reports the validation of the Chinese versions of the Suicidal Ideation Attributes Scale (SIDAS), Stigma of Suicide Scale (short form, SOSS), and Literacy of Suicide Scale (short form, LOSS) among 57 Chinese and English bilinguals and 224 Chinese university students. All the translated scales showed high correlations with the original versions. The translated SIDAS and refined SOSS demonstrated robust factor structures, good internal consistency and convergent validity. Chinese students with self-reported depression symptoms tended to have higher glorification of suicide and lower suicide literacy. These brief scales fill an important gap in evaluating suicide outcomes in Chinese-speaking societies.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
