Objectives: The purpose of this study is to identify attitudes of the general public towards suicide and to examine the effects of personal values related to social integration and regulation and sociodemographic variables on the attitudes. Methods: Samples for the study were drawn from 2013 Korean General Social Survey which collected data from the adult population aged 18 or over (n=1,294) who live in households of Korea using face-to-face interviews with a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses and multivariate regression analysis. Results: The rates of agreement with an opinion that there are cases in which people have a right to commit suicide were 42.8% for incurable disease, 14.3% for bankruptcy, 10.3% for dishonoring the family and 9.4% for being tired of living. The mean of suicide index score was 0.77 on a 4-point scale. Among the variables in the study, age, religion, marital status, health condition and personal values related with social integration and regulation appeared to be salient in predicting the attitudes towards suicide. Conclusions: Programs and policies to prevent suicide need to consider developing and implementing strategies to change positive attitudes and perceptions towards suicide among general people.
