Despite some scientific research on suicide as one of the most serious social and mental health problems in Iran, there is still lack of research on the effective structural and socio-familial factors contributing to the issue in Iran. The purpose of this study is to investigate some of the effective variables conditioning suicidality while also establishing a synthetic model. Three hundred-fifty university students (165 males, 185 females) were randomly chosen from Shahid Chamran University, Ahvaz, Iran. The participants were asked to complete a package of self-report questionnaires including subjective socioeconomic status (SES), feeling of anomie, perceived parental control, and suicidality. The results show that all correlations among variables are significant. For testing the theoretical model, results of standardized regression coefficients suggest that SES has direct effect on suicidality and indirect effect via anomie and parental control. In addition, parental control has direct effects on suicidality and indirect effect via anomie as well. The findings confirm the expected paths hypothesized among variables which are consistent with the theories of Durkheim, Merton, Kohn, and Agnew. It implies that the development of suicidality takes place within socioeconomic context through the influence of parental control and feeling of anomie.
尽管一些科学研究表明自杀是伊朗最严重的社会和心理健康问题之一，但对于导致伊朗自杀问题的有效结构和社会家庭因素的研究仍然不足。本研究的目的是调查一些影响自杀倾向的有效变量，并建立一个综合模型。从伊朗阿瓦兹的沙希德·查姆兰大学随机抽取了 350 名大学生（165 名男性，185 名女性）。要求参与者完成一套包括主观社会经济地位（SES）、失范感、感知父母控制和自杀倾向的自我报告问卷。结果表明，所有变量之间的相关性都是显著的。为了检验理论模型，标准化回归系数的结果表明 SES 对自杀倾向有直接影响，通过失范感和父母控制有间接影响。此外，父母控制对自杀倾向也有直接影响和间接影响。研究结果证实了变量之间预期的路径假设，这些假设与涂尔干、默顿、科恩和阿格纽的理论一致。这意味着自杀倾向的发展是在社会经济背景下通过父母控制和失范感的影响发生的。
