The present study analyzes factors of adolescents' ecological-relational contexts in relation to suicidal behavior. In particular, it examined the role of peer bullying and cyberbullying, classroom climate, violence and partner victimization, parental socialization styles, and child-to-parent violence.
The participants are 2,977 Spanish adolescents attending seven secondary schools. They were aged 11-17 (M = 14.0, SD = 1.40; 51.5% girls). Multivariate logistic regression analyses and a two-step cluster analysis were applied to analyze the data.
Findings showed a prevalence of suicidal thoughts in 43.3% of the sample, with 7.7% reporting suicide attempts. Adolescents experiencing high/low victimization (ORa = 3.10, p < .001) and high cybervictimization (ORa = 1.67, p < .001) were at risk. However, high cyberbullying involvement (ORa = 0.55, p < .001) and not having a partner (ORa = 0.61, p < .001) emerged as protective factors. Sex-specific analyses underscored distinct interaction effects, with suicidal behavior in girls being significantly related to maternal negative socialization (ORa = 1.57, p = .05).
An ecological-relational and sex approach is needed to understand and prevent suicidal behavior in adolescents.
本研究分析了青少年生态关系背景与自杀行为相关的因素。特别是,它考察了同伴欺凌和网络欺凌、课堂氛围、暴力和伴侣受害、父母社会化风格以及儿童对父母暴力的作用。
参与者是来自七所中学的 2977 名西班牙青少年。他们的年龄在 11-17 岁之间(M=14.0,SD=1.40;51.5%为女生)。采用多变量逻辑回归分析和两步聚类分析来分析数据。
研究结果显示,样本中有 43.3%的青少年有自杀念头,其中 7.7%的青少年有自杀企图。经历高/低受害(ORa=3.10,p<.001)和高网络受害(ORa=1.67,p<.001)的青少年处于危险之中。然而,高网络欺凌卷入(ORa=0.55,p<.001)和没有伴侣(ORa=0.61,p<.001)则是保护因素。性别特异性分析强调了不同的交互作用效应,女孩的自杀行为与母亲的消极社会化(ORa=1.57,p=.05)显著相关。
需要从生态关系和性别角度来理解和预防青少年的自杀行为。
