Abstract

Exposure to suicidal behavior (ESB) through social networks is often associated with an increased risk of suicidality, but empirical research—largely limited to the Western populations—has produced mixed results. Using survey data, we examined (a) the association between ESB and suicide attempt, and (b) the exacerbating role of ESB on gender differences in suicide attempt risk among Turkish adolescents (N = 2035). ESB was significantly associated with increased risk of suicide attempt, and it contributed to the higher attempt risk among girls. Suicidal behaviors spread through social networks via ESB, and suicide contagion exacerbates the existing gender differences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
