ABSTRACT

This study investigated the effects of glamorous portrayal of suicide and explaining background of suicide on perception of suicide. The study was a 2 (glamorous portrayal: using vs. not using) x 2 (explaining background: using vs. not using) between-subject factorial design online experiment. In addition, some of participants in this study were interviewed. The findings from an experimental study (N = 120) suggested that distortion and riskiness of suicide were greater in the condition of using glamorous expressions and explaining background of suicide compared to not using those expressions. In addition, participants who watched video included both independent variables had a lower negative perception on suicide. Theoretical implications of framed messages and realistic media contents and guidelines were discussed.
