In order to collect data, the instruments of meta-cognitive belief (Wells, Cartwright-Hatton, 2004), perceived stress (Cohen, 1983), cognitive flexibility (Dennis, Vanderwal, 2010) and suicidal thoughts (Beck,1991) were used. Data analysis was made using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression and using SPSS version 18 software. Results: The results showed a significant relationship between meta-cognitive belief (r=0.61), perceived stress (r=0.64) and cognitive flexibility (r=-0.57) and the suicidal thoughts of male adolescents (p<0.05). In addition, the results of multiple regression showed that meta-cognitive belief 0.32, perceived stress 0.35 and cognitive flexibility -0.22 significantly predict the suicidal thoughts of male adolescents (p<0.05).
