Exploratory Analysis of Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Psychological Processes Implied in Risk-taking and Suicidal Behaviors, in Adult and Adolescent At-risk

The aim of this study is to describe psychological processes that contribute to risk-taking and suicidal behaviors. The primary objective of this study is: To examine the fit of an Structural Equation Model (SEM) of risk-taking and suicidal behaviors and ideation, and explain those self-destructive behavior can possibly affected by Perceived Burdensomeness (PB) and Thwarted Belongingness (TB), Impulsivity and Suicidal Ruminations (SR) among with suicidal ideations. This study will address the following secondary objectives: 1. To explore the mediating effect of risk-taking, as a behavioral variable, on the relationship between suicidal ideation and behavior and impulsivity. 2. To explore the mediating effect of risk-taking, as a self-reported variable, on the relationship between suicidal ideation and behavior and impulsivity. 3. To explore the mediating effect of risk-taking, as a cognitive variable, on the relationship between suicidal ideation and behavior and impulsivity. 4. To explore the mediating effect of PB on the relationship between SR and suicidal ideation and behavior. 5. To explore the mediating effect of TW, on the relationship between SR and suicidal ideation and behavior. 6. To explore the mediating effect of SR on the relationship between suicidal ideation and behavior and impulsivity. The effect of developmental status (adult versus adolescent), will be considerated as a co-variate.
