Hence, the present study was conducted to investigate the role of parental authority and psychological symptoms in anticipating the suicidal ideation of female adolescents. The research method was descriptive-correlational and the population consisted of all female secondary school students in Naghadeh during the 2019-2020 academic year. Of this population, a sample consisting of 120 people was selected using multistage cluster sampling. The Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (SSI), Buri Parental Authority Questionnaire and the Mental Disorders Checklist-Short Form were used to collect data and multiple regression was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the tendency for suicidal ideation had a negative relationship with parental authority and a positive relationship with psychological symptoms (p < 0.01). Regression results also indicated that 24% of the variance in adolescent suicidal ideation was explained by parental authority and psychological symptoms (p < 0.05). Thus, based on the results, special attention should be paid to the subject of adolescence in addition to parenting styles so as to prevent high-risk actions especially suicidal ideation among adolescent girls by preventing the occurrence of pathological consequences and symptoms and creating a favorable state of mental health.}, keywords = {adolescents,Parental authority,Psychological profile,Suicidal ideation}, url = {https://jrp.uma.ac.ir/article_1086.html}, eprint = {https://jrp.uma.ac.ir/article_1086_79941b585d05581af831c1f728c2b888.pdf} }
