Master's thesis of Science: A socio-ecological approach to adolescent suicide ideation: the role of family, peers, and teachers

This thesis aimed to explore a range of social-ecological factors in the understanding of adolescent suicide ideation. Comprising two studies, the first study examined adolescents’ differential perceptions of mother involvement and father involvement, and their association with adolescent suicide ideation and psychological well-being. The second study investigated the unique and combined contribution of mother involvement, father involvement, family functioning, peer attachment, adolescent psychological well-being, teacher support, and adolescent emotional distress, in a predictive model of adolescent suicide ideation, with father involvement as the key independent variable.
