Abstract

The purpose of the study is first, to examine the distribution of the high-risk suicide group in the Korean society, second, to examine the sociodemographic characteristic of the high-risk suicide group as well as the psychological, social characteristics through a comparison of the high-risk suicide group and the low-risk suicide group, and to examine the predictors of the high-risk suicide group. Surveys were conducted for all age groups; the final sample size was 1,242. First, 17.06% of whole was included in the high-risk suicide group, and 35.82%, about two times that of the high-risk group, was included in the low-risk suicide group. Second, if satisfaction regarding the income level of the elderly and people without religion is below the median value, their depression, stress and problem-focused coping were high; however, this result can be judged as having low emotion-focused coping and family cohesion. In addition, as for the variables to predict the highrisk suicide group, depression, stress, problem-focused coping style and family cohesion were included. © Research India Publications.
