ABSTRACT

The current study examined whether the longitudinal relation between parent-child and suicidal ideation was mediated through self-esteem and depression during childhood. To test the hypothesis, cross-lagged auto-regressive models were applied to the data which were the part of the national representative survey (i.e., Korean Child-Youth Panel Survey(KCYPS) conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute). Specifically, the data in use were consisted of 2,844 early adolescents' responses to the scales measuring four variables of interest for three times at every year. The result showed that the levels of parent-child attachment negatively associated with the levels of suicidal ideation. Moreover, self-esteem and depression showed significant mediating effects on the relation between parent-child attachment and suicidal ideation. Implications for counseling practice (e.g., consideration in designing the preventive program regarding suicidal ideation) and suggestions for future research are discussed.
