Abstract
This research explored risk factors associated with suicide to identify at-risk individuals who are more likely to conceal their feelings and thoughts. We examined the relationship of traits of self-concealment and perfectionistic self-presentation to suicide ideation and psychache, as well as the role of social support. Both traits were predictors of suicide ideation, and concealment of psychache mediated the relationship of suicide ideation with self-concealment and two subcomponents of perfectionistic self-presentation. Individuals higher on self-concealment and perfectionistic self-presentation were more likely to report psychache as well as concealment of psychache. Social support mediated the relationship between one subcomponent of perfectionistic self-presentation and suicide ideation.
