Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between attachment styles and suicide ideation in samples of students in Turkmen Sahra, Iran. Adult Attachment Questionnaire (AAQ) and Beck Suicide Scale Ideation (BSSI) were used in this study. Findings suggest that there are positive statistically significant correlation between adolescents unsecure attachment style with suicide ideation and negative statistically significant correlation between secure attachment style and suicide ideation. Attachment styles are an important predictor of suicide ideation. Interventions designed to reduce suicide ideation may help reduce suicide ideation in adolescents.
