PEREZ QUIROZ, Aurora et al. Parenting styles as predictors of suicidal ideation in adolescents. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2013, vol.30, n.3, pp.551-568. ISSN 2011-7485.

The objective of this research was to determine the extent to which parenting styles predict adolescent suicidal ideation in public school students in Mexico. 172 men and 226 women ranging between 15 and17 years participated in this study. A parental style scale proposed by Andrade and Betancourt (2008) was applied and a scale to measure suicidal ideation was developed. The results indicate that suicidal ideation and feelings of loneliness are present at a greater rate in women. Likewise, there are significant correlations between parenting styles of fathers and mothers and suicidal ideation in adolescent men and women. There are differences in predictors of suicidal ideation in men and women.

Keywords : Adolescence; suicidal ideation; parenting styles.
