TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Stressful events and adolescents' suicidal ideation during the COVID-19 epidemic: a moderated mediation model of depression and parental educational involvement JO - Children and youth services review A1 - Cheng, Gang A1 - Liu, Jia A1 - Yang, Yiying A1 - Wang, Yangqian A1 - Xiong, Xianmeng A1 - Liu, Guangzeng SP - e106047 EP - e106047 VL - 127 IS - N2 - This study examined the association between stressful events and adolescents' suicidal ideation and determined the roles of depression as a mediator and parental educational involvement as a moderator during the COVID-19 epidemic. Survey data from a sample of 1595 Chinese adolescents and their parents were subjected to path analysis. The results indicated that stressful events of the COVID-19 epidemic were significantly positively associated with adolescents' suicidal ideation, and this association was mediated by depression. In addition, adolescents' parental educational involvement significantly moderated the path from depression to suicidal ideation. These results highlight the importance of identifying the underlying key mechanisms that moderate the mediated paths between stressful events and adolescents' suicidal ideation during the COVID-19 epidemic. The findings also provide implications for parents and education staff regarding the importance of improving parental educational involvement to prevent adolescents' suicidal ideation during the COVID-19 epidemic.
