This is a replication study designed to expand on the Orbach, Gross, and Glaubman (1981) model of suicidal behaviour in children. Scores were correlated with the four dimensions of Orbach’s model (attraction to life, repulsion by life, attraction to death and repulsion by death) and with hopelessness using the Hopelessness Scale for Children.
