Background: This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of parenting style variable on youth suicide variable with the mediating role of avoidant insecure attachment style.
Methods: The current research was correlational. The statistical population of the research consisted of all young people aged 15 to 23, who in 2013 visited the psychological clinics where the researcher started the research and filed a case. The sampling method was simple random sampling. The size of the statistical population was equal to 570 people and the sample size of 230 people was selected for this research. To determine the sample size, the calculation method using Cochran's formula was used, and the sample size of 230 people was selected for this research. Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSSI), Baumrind Parenting Style Scale, and Attachment Styles Questionnaire (ASQ) were measured. Finally, the data were analyzed using SPSS and Smart PLS 3 software and with the structural equation modeling (SEM) method. The statistical findings were considered significant at the 0.05 level.
Results: There was a relationship between authoritarian parenting style and suicidal thoughts (β = 0.486, P < 0.001), permissive parenting style and suicidal thoughts (β = 0.216, P = 0.004), authoritative parenting style and suicidal thoughts (β = -0.283, P < 0.001), and insecure attachment and suicidal thoughts (β = -0.049, P = 0.353).
Conclusion: The analysis showed that the variable of parenting style was effective on youth suicide. In terms of parenting styles, it can be said that two parenting styles, authoritarian and parenting, have a significant and positive effect on suicidal, but the authoritative parenting style variable has a significant and negative effect on suicidal. On the other hand, the results of this study showed that insecure attachment style, as a mediating variable, had no significant relationship with youth suicide.
