growing of research on suicidal behavior. Hopelessness recognized as a strongly predictor of
suicidal behavior, including suicidal ideas and suicide attempts (Beck et al, 1990; Reinecke
and Franklin - Scott, 2005). However, the empirical results show the correlation between
hopelessness and suicidal behavior seem to be less consistent. The purpose of this study is to
determine the relationship of hopelessness and suicidal behavior through the study of meta-
analysis. There are 27 studies are including in this meta-analysis study. Two artifacts allow
for correction in these study are sampling error and measurement error. The result shows
