Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between classroom community, attitude toward parents, psychological factors include anxiety disorders and depression that contribute to adolescent suicide probability. The participants were 400 high school girl students who were divided into 14_17 years age groups. A sample of adolescents completed the Suicide probability questionnaire, the screen for child anxiety related emotional disorders scale, Beck depression Inventory, class community questionnaire and attitude toward parents. By using path analysis, the results showed that classroom community, and attitude toward parents were the core predictors of psychological factors include anxiety disorders and depression, and that depression was a strong mediator of suicidal ideation. The findings are discussed in terms of their practical and theoretical significance as well as their consistency with similar research with students. The implications for future research and positive youth development programs are discussed.
