BACKGROUND: Suicide ideation is one of the common mental health problems among universitystudents. This study aimed to explain suicide ideation susceptibility by examining the relationshipsbetween psychological factors.METHODOLOGY: The population of the study included all female undergraduate students at theUniversity of Isfahan in autumn 2018. A sample of 180 individuals were selected through multistagesampling from different faculties and majors. The scales used in this study included adults attachmentsinventory, Coping Inventory for Stressful Situation, Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale, and Suicide IdeationScale. The statistical analyses included t‑test, Pearson correlation, and path analysis.RESULTS: Suicide ideation was reported in 25% of the participants. The t‑test analysis indicatedthat the mean scores for dysfunctional attitudes (P < 0.01) and problem‑focused coping (P < 0.01)were significantly different in with and without suicide ideation groups. Suicide ideation significantlycorrelated with problem‑focused coping (r = −0.42, P < 0.01), emotion‑focused coping (r = 0.25,P < 0.05), and dysfunctional attitudes (r = 0.23, P < 0.05). Path analysis showed that dysfunctionalattitudes and emotion‑focused coping significantly influenced suicide ideation. Moreover, the indirecteffect of insecure (ambivalent and avoidant) attachment styles by mediating role of dysfunctionalattitudes and emotion‑focused coping was statistically significant (P < 0.01) and the indirect effectof dysfunctional attitudes by mediating role of emotion‑focused coping as well (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Insecure attachment styles and dysfunctional attitudes work as stress–diathesismodel in predicting suicide ideation and increase suicide ideation susceptibility by affectingemotion‑focused coping strategy. The hypothesized model in this study can help formulate, evaluate,and prevent suicide risk.
