A survey of euthanasia attitudes of 245 college students at six universities in three regions of the United States was completed using two scales which assessed ideological position toward and behavioral endorsement of euthanasia actions. Geographical region, religious participation, mass media, class rank, socioeconomic status, and personality (locus of control) were associated in various ways with the scales employed. In addition, the attitudinal and behavioral dimensions were moderately associated
