SIS-II correlates of suicide ideation among adolescents

Résumé

The present study was conducted to examine the SIS-II correlates of suicide ideation. To realize the main objective, 480 Secondary School students (186 females and 294 males) drawn from 11th & 12th grade students of various Senior Secondary Schools of Gurgaon and Delhi, were administered SIS-II (Booklet Form) and Beck's Scale for suicide ideation. The obtained data were analyzed by applying Descriptive Statistics, t-ratios, Pearson's Correlations and Principal Component Factor Analysis. The t-ratios revealed that the female students scored high on Suicide Ideation, Human, Animal, Movement and Most Typical Reponses; and low on Anatomy than male students. Both inter-correlations and factor analyses have depicted structured overlap between some SIS-II scales and suicide ideation. Movement, Depression, and Hostility and Aggression Scales of SIS-II have emerged significant correlates of suicide ideation depicting SIS-II Suicide Ideation Constellation Index (M+, D+, HAS+). The present study suggests the need of large scale investigation of SIS-II correlates of suicide on both suicide ideations and suicide attempts.
