Research has shown that there are various predictors of suicide ideation. Moreover, people’s attitudes toward suicide are also associated with suicide ideation, and suicide attitudes have been associated with predictors of suicide ideation. This research examines four different variables as predictors of suicide ideation in a college sample: depression, hopelessness, perceived stress, and religiosity. Young adult suicide attitudes were also investigated to determine the extent to which they moderate the relationships between the aforementioned predictors and suicide ideation. Correlational analyses and stepwise, hierarchical multiple regressions revealed that depression, hopelessness, and perceived stress are significant predictors of suicide ideation, but only the relationship between perceived stress and suicide ideation was moderated by suicide attitudes. These results have important implications for the prevention of suicide, suggesting that suicide prevention programs, counseling centers, and psychology clinics on college campuses should include suicide attitudes as well as depression, hopelessness, and perceived stress in their assessment and identification of individuals who may be at risk for engaging in suicide ideation.
