Abstract

|
The purpose of this study was to examine the demographic, personal and psychological, family related and socio-cultural factors that help to predict mid-aged male and female adults’ suicidal ideation. Moreover, this study examined how the factors that predict suicidal ideation are different depending on gender. The Korea Welfare Panel Study’s data for the 6th year (2011) was used for the sample and the SPSSWIN 21.0 program was utilized for the data analysis. In order to identify whether there is a difference between gender when it comes to the factors that affect mid-aged adults’ suicidal ideation, men and women were distinguished to conduct a binomial logistic regression analysis. The results of this study are as follows. First, mid-aged women tended to have a higher possibility of suicidal ideation when they had no spouse, were more depressed, had lower self-respect and tended to deal negatively with family conflict. Second, mid-aged men tended to have suicidal ideation more when their income was lower, and were more depressed.
