“…Depression and depressive symptoms have been found to be linked to suicide ideation [43,44], and in a sample of exclusively Mexican-American adolescents, two studies have found that depressive symptoms predict suicidal behavior [45,46]. Low self-esteem and self-derogation are also two individual factors related to adolescent suicidal behavior [47,48]. Razin et al [49] found that Latina adolescent suicide attempters often blamed themselves for problems in the family.…”

Adolescent Latinas continue to report higher levels of suicide attempts than their African-American and White peers. The phenomenon is still not understood and is theorized to be the result of the confluence of many cultural, familial, and individual level factors. In Latino cultures, belief in the importance of the family, the value known as familism, appears to protect youth's emotional and behavioral health, but parent-adolescent conflict has been found to be a risk factor for suicide attempts. The role of familism in relation to parent-adolescent conflict, self-esteem, internalizing behaviors, and suicide attempts has not been studied extensively. To address this question, we interviewed 226 adolescent Latinas, 50% of whom had histories of suicide attempts. Using path analysis, familism as a cultural asset was associated with lower levels of parent-adolescent conflict, but higher levels of internalizing behaviors, while self-esteem and internalizing behaviors mediated the relationship between parent-adolescent conflict and suicide attempts. Our findings point to the importance of family involvement in culturally competent suicide prevention and intervention programs. Reducing parent-daughter conflict and fostering closer family ties has the added effect of improving self-esteem and shrinking the likelihood of suicide attempts.

“…Adolescent suicidal behavior has been associated with several risk factors including depression, conduct problems, impulsivity, low self-esteem, and substance abuse (e.g., see Apter, Bleich, Plutchik, Mendelsohn, & Tuano, 1988;Dukes & Lorch, 1989;Kashden, Fremouw, Callahan, & Franzen, 1993). Pearson product-moment correlations were computed to examine the relations between the BRFL-A subscales and several of these variables, using the MMPI-A content scales.…”

This study modified and evaluated the psychometric properties of the Reasons for Living Inventory (RFL) in samples of adolescents. Internal consistency reliability, corrected item-total scale correlation, and exploratory factor analysis procedures were used with a mixed sample of 260 adolescents to identify 14 items for the brief version of the RFL (BRFL-A). Confirmatory factor analyses provided support for the five-factor oblique structure of the BRFL-A in a psychiatric inpatient sample with a range of suicidal behaviors. Reliabilities of the BRFL-A subscales were satisfactory. Four of the five subscales differentiated between suicidal and nonsuicidal adolescents. Significant correlations were found between three BRFL-A subscales and several suicide indices. Convergent-discriminant validity was examined by correlating the BRFL-A subscales with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescents (MMPI-A) Content Scales. Limitations of the study are discussed.

“…Sin embargo, todavía existen pocos estudios que aborden las características que distinguen a los escolares adolescentes con ideación suicida, existiendo así, un importante desconocimiento sobre el peso específico que cada una de estas características puede tener en la ideación suicida por separado, y lo que es más importante, respecto a las interacciones que pueden mantener entre sí como indicadores de vulnerabilidad para el desarrollo de conductas suicidas en este grupo de población. Los estudios existentes han señalado que la ideación suicida en adolescentes está relacionada con variables tales como la edad (De Man, Leduc y Labréche Gauthier, 1993); el sexo (Charron, 1981;C6té, Pronovost y Ross, 1989); baja autoestima (Bagley, 1975;Colé, Protinsky y Cross, 1993;Robbins y Alessi, 1985); locus de control externo (Budner y Kvmiler, 1973;Topol y Reznikoff, 1982); estrés negativo (De Man, Leduc y Labré-che-Gauthier, 1993;Dubow et al, 1989); afrontamiento no adaptativo (Villardón, 1993); consvuno de alcohol y drogas (Corbeil, 1984;Dukes y Lorch, 1989); falta de apoyo social (Bagley, 1975; KirkpatrickSmith, Rich, Bonner y Jans, 1989); depresión (De Man, 1999;Goldberg, 1981;Lester y Gatto, 1989;Zhang, 1996) y desesperanza (Villardón, 1993).…”

Últimamente ha habido un aumento de los fenómenos suicidas adolescentes. En este trabajo se pretenden estudiar los índices de ideación suicida adolescente y la capacidad del autoconcepto y de la depresión para predecir los pensamientos de suicido, teniendo en cuenta las posibles diferencias asociadas al sexo. Para ello se aplicaron, a 161 adolescentes de 16 a 19 años escolarizados en BUP, COU y FP de segundo ciclo, la escala de ideación suicida (Beck, 1979), adaptada y abreviada por Villardón (1993), la escala de autoconcepto (Villa, 1992) y el inventario de depresión de Beck (BDI) adaptado por Vázquez y Sanz. Los resultados indicaron que las chicas tenían niveles más altos de ideación suicida que los chicos y que mientras en el grupo de las chicas la depresión explicaba hasta un 64% de varianza de ideación suicida en el grupo de los chicos la dimensión social de autoconcepto era la variable que explicaba mayor proporción de varianza de la variable criterio. Las diferencias observadas entre ambos sexos señalan la conveniencia de la aproximación de género para incidir en la ideación suicida en la población adolescente.Palabras clave: Ideación suicida, autoconcepto, depresión, adolescencia. Predictors of suicida! thinking: an empirical study of adolescentsThe rate of suicide and attempted suicide among adolescents is rising. In this work we studied the degree of suicidal thinking among adolescents, and the capacity of measures of self-concept and depression to predict suicidal thinking, related to possible sex differences. A hundred and sixty-one adolescents aged 16-19 years who were attending school or vocational training centres were administered the Suicidal Ideation Scale (SIS; Beck, 1979) adapted for the Spanish population and abbreviated by Villardón (1993), the Self-Concept Scale (SCS; Villa, 1992), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) adapted for the Spanish population by Vázquez and Sanz. Results showed that girls had higher SIS scores than boys, and whereas 64% of the variance of the girls'SIS scores was accounted for by their BDI scores, the predictor accounting for most variance in the boys'SIS scores was the SCS score. This work highlight the need for interventions designed to prevent suicidal thinking among adolescentes to take gender into account.
