Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to confirm if there are gender differences in influences of parental support, control, and school life adjustment on suicidal ideation of adolescents and to examine the mediating effect of depression on the influences of independent variables on their suicidal ideation. Methods: This study comprised a total of 671 students in seventh and eighth grades in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. The data were analyzed for frequency, average, and standard deviation, using the t-test, Pearsonâs correlation analysis, stepwise regression analysis, hierarchical multiple regression analysis, and the Sobel test. Results and Conclusion: First, significant differences among adolescentsâ gender were shown in fathersâ psychological control, mothersâ behavior control, and suicidal ideation. Second, in the case of male adolescents, all independent variables were found to have a full mediating effect on their suicidal ideation. Meanwhile, in the case of female adolescents, independent variables except for mothersâ psychological control were found to have a full mediating effect on their suicidal ideation. Mothersâ psychological control was found to have a partial mediating effect on suicidal ideation of adolescents for both genders. Keywords: Suicidal ideation in adolescents, Parental support and control, School life adjustment, Depression
