Suicidal behavior in adolescents: an ecological-relational study
Resumen: Background: The present study analyzes factors of adolescents' ecological-relational contexts in relation to suicidal behavior. In particular, it examined the role of peer bullying and cyberbullying, classroom climate, violence and partner victimization, parental socialization styles, and child-to-parent violence.

Method:The participants are 2,977 Spanish adolescents attending seven secondary schools. They were aged 11-17 ( = 14.0, = 1.40; 51.5% girls). Multivariate logistic regression analyses and a two-step cluster analysis were applied to analyze the data.

Results: Findings showed a prevalence of suicidal thoughts in 43.3% of the sample, with 7.7% reporting suicide attempts. Adolescents experiencing high/low victimization (a = 3.10, < .001) and high cybervictimization (a = 1.67, < .001) were at risk. However, high cyberbullying involvement (a = 0.55, < .001) and not having a partner (a = 0.61, < .001) emerged as protective factors. Sex-specific analyses underscored distinct interaction effects, with suicidal behavior in girls being significantly related to maternal negative socialization (a = 1.57, = .05).

Conclusions: An ecological-relational and sex approach is needed to understand and prevent suicidal behavior in adolescents.
