پیش بینی ایده‌پردازی خودکشی بر اساس راهبردهای مقابله‌ای و سبک‌های هویت

The present study aimed to predict suicide ideation based on identity styles and coping strategies in adolescents. The study population included all adolescents studying in Tabriz high schools. A total of 120 boys and girls were selected and completed the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSSI), the Coping Strategies Inventory (CISS), and the Identity Style Inventory (ISI-6). Results showed that coping strategies and identity styles can predict suicide ideation. Data analysis showed that among identity styles, confused identity had a significant and positive relationship and commitment had a significant and negative relationship with suicidal ideation. Also emotion-focused strategies had a significant and positive correaltion whereas problem oriented strategies showed a significant and negative correlation with suicidal thoughts. Adolescents showing the confused-avoidant identity style are in conflict with issues of identity and thus tend to evade and / or avoid these issues. They do not seem to be able to plan their lives effectively and in dealing with problems seem to react emotionally and in the event of failure may turn to thoughts about ending their lives. Thus, it is suggested that in an attempt at preventing and reducing suicidal ideation in adolescents, important variables such as identity styles and strategies should be targeted for change and modification.
