Poster Session XI

Keyword: Suicide

Abstract: Emotion regulation deficits have been associated with adolescent suicidal ideation. This relationship is assessed via partial correlation analyses controlling for age, self-invalidation, and perceived caregiver invalidation. A significant positive relationship indicates that individuals with greater difficulty regulating emotions are more likely to have suicidal thoughts, even when accounting for invalidation.
