- Abstract
Family incivility, as a new form of family interaction, is more common in daily life and has negative effects on adolescents. The current study explored the association between family incivility and suicidal ideation and tested a moderated mediation model to examine the role of hopelessness, self-esteem, sex, and age in this relationship. A total of 857 Chinese adolescents (mean age = 14.7 years, SD = 1.68) completed self-report measures of family incivility, suicidal ideation, hopelessness, and self-esteem. The findings revealed that family incivility had a positive predictive effect on adolescents' suicidal ideation, which was mediated by hopelessness. Self-esteem moderated the relationship between family incivility and hopelessness. Sex moderated the relationship between family incivility and hopelessness, as well as the relationship between hopelessness and suicidal ideation. Age moderated the relationship between family incivility and suicidal ideation as well as the relationship between hopelessness and suicidal ideation. Our study is the first to identify that family incivility is a new risk factor for adolescents' suicidal ideation, which has important theoretical and practical significance for preventing or intervening in adolescents' suicidal ideation from school and family aspects.
