Abstract: (13 Views)
The present study aimed to predict suicidal ideation in adolescents based on the components of mentalizing capacity, with the mediating role of academic burnout. The research method was a descriptive-correlational structural model. The statistical population of the study included first-year high school students in public and private schools in Tehran in the academic year 2025-2026, of whom 400 were selected as a sample using cluster random sampling. The research instruments were the Beck Suicidality Scale (BSSI) Beck (1961), the Maslach Academic Burnout Inventory (MBI) (Maslach et al., 2001), and the Mentalizing Questionnaire for Adolescents (RFQY-13) Martin-Gegnan et al., 2023). Structural equation analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the data had an acceptable fit with the conceptual model and were confirmed. Also, in accordance with the research model, the direct relationship between the uncertainty component of mental states and academic burnout on suicidal ideation was significant (P<0.01). Also, the indirect relationship between both mentalization components and suicidal ideation, with the mediation of academic burnout, was significant (P<0.01). These results indicate that mentalizing capacity components, with a mediating role of academic burnout, can predict suicidal ideation in adolescents.
