Abstract

This article (N = 366 students), based on Baumeister's theory of suicide (1990) and taking into consideration Shneidman's multifactorial theory (1992a), studies the possibility of perfectionist attitude and body image dissatisfaction being mediated by psychological distress in the suicidal ideation and behaviors. The French l'IDPESQ-29 de Préville, Boyer, Potvin, Perrault et Légaré (1987) originating from the PSI of Ilfeld (1976), the MPS (Frost, Marten, Lahart, & Rosenblate, 1990), the BDDE-SR (Rosen & Reiter, 1996) and a short adapted questionnaire on suicidal ideation and behavior were used for this research. The frequency of occurrence of past suicidal ideation is 33% present 35%, attempts 9.6%; perfectionism 16.6%, psychological distress 15%, body image dissatisfaction 10% and Body Dysmorphic Disorder is 4.6%.
