Abstract
Relational victimization and suicidal ideation are interrelated. In the present study, this association was found to be stronger among those with higher (versus lower) levels of anger in a clinical sample of adolescents. Interventions that address anger may decrease the likelihood of suicidal ideation among those who have been victimized.
