Data analysis was conducted with path analysis. The results showed that the proposed research model had a favorable fit. The findings also showed that self-silencing, interpretive bias and psychological distress had a positive direct effect on suicidal ideation (p<0.01). self-silencing and interpretive bias had a positive direct effect on psychological distress (p<0.01). Also, the results of the bootstrap test showed that psychological distress had a positive and significant mediating role between self silencing, interpretive bias and suicidal ideation (p<0.01). The results show that self-silencing and interpretive bias, due to the important role of psychological distress, can explain suicidal ideation in women with depressive symptoms, and it is necessary to pay attention to these factors interaction with each other in suicide reduction programs.
