Objectives: This study was conducted to identify the factors that influence suicide probability in adolescents. Methods: The data was collected from Oct. 20, 2010 to Nov. 5, 2010. The data were collected from 563 subjects of 7 middle schools and 10 high schools in D city. The instruments for this study were Suicide Probability Scale for Adolescents (SPS-A), Spirituality Scale, and Suicide Perception Toward Suicide Scale. The data was analyzed by t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe’s test, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and multiple regression by stepwise selection by using SPSS 14.0 program. Results: There were significant differences in suicide probability according to religion, economic status, academic achievement, number of close friends, and experience with surrounding people’s suicide. The influencing factors of suicide probability in adolescents were identified as connectedness (β=-.45, p<.001), inner resources (β=-.15, p=.002), and the meaning or purpose of life (β=-.13, p=.005) which were sub-domain of spirituality. Three factors explained 44% of suicide probability. Conclusions: The results suggest that the spirituality of adolescents is important for reducing their suicide probability.
