Adolescents with suicidal thoughts or attempts reported less parental care and more over-protection, particularly from mothers. This pattern was clearer in females, suggesting stronger maternal influence on suicidal behavior.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Adolescent Psychiatry
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Parental bonding is crucial for adolescent development.
  • Previous research suggests links between parental relationships and suicidal behavior in adults.
  • Understanding these links in adolescents is vital for early intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between parental bonding and suicidal ideation/attempts in adolescents.
  • To explore gender differences in the association between parental bonding and suicidality.
  • To examine maternal and paternal influences separately.

Main Methods:

  • Assessed 187 adolescents from Canadian outpatient and residential services.
  • Utilized the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) to measure perceived parental care and over-protection.

  • Assessed lifetime suicidal ideation and suicide attempts.

    • Main Results:

    • Suicidal adolescents reported lower maternal care and higher maternal over-protection compared to non-suicidal peers.
    • Female adolescents also reported lower paternal care and higher paternal over-protection.
    • A continuum of PBI scores was observed for females across suicidal ideation and attempt severity, but not for males.
    • The 'affectionless control' pattern was more pronounced in females than males.

    Conclusions:

    • Adolescent suicidality is associated with specific patterns of perceived parental bonding, particularly low care and high over-protection.
    • Maternal bonding appears to have a stronger influence on adolescent suicidality than paternal bonding, especially in females.
    • Findings suggest potential gender-specific targets for interventions addressing parental relationships in at-risk adolescents.
