Eventually 148 patients with recurrent suicide attempts were reached. Fifty-two patients voluntarily participated in the study. Rotter internal-external locus of control scale, Rosenberg self-esteem scale and the Barratt impulsiveness scale tests were applied to those patients. As a control group, 51 patients who attempted suicide once and 45 healthy subjects who were never involved in suicide attempts were included in the study.Results: There was no difference between the groups in terms of age and sex.
