Abstract: ABSTRACT of thesis entitled "Developing and Evaluating a Model of Suicidal Ideation for Hong Kong Chinese Adolescents" submitted by SUN Rachel Chui Fun for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in March 2005 The aims of this research were to develop a model that delineated the simultaneous relationship of family, school, peers, self-esteem and depression to adolescent suicidal ideation, and to explore the support mechanisms of the family, school and peers for maintaining adolescent psychological health. Three studies were conducted to achieve these aims. Study One aimed to test a linear relationship among variables by using multiple regression and path analyses. Data was collected from questionnaires completed by 433 adolescents. It was found that the levels of family cohesion, family conflict, teacher support and peer support significantly predicted suicidal ideation, through the mediation of self-esteem and depression. Based on the preliminary findings of Study One, Study Two aimed to develop a model of suicidal ideation which included family cohesion, family conflict, teacher support, sense of school belonging, academic pressure, peer isupport and peer conflict as antecedent predictors; and self-esteem and depression as mediators, by using structural equation modeling. Data was collected from modified questionnaires completed by 1,358 adolescents. The respondents were randomly split into two groups. One group was used to test competing models, and the other was used to validate the best fitting model. The results showed that only family cohesion, sense of school belonging and peer support made a significant difference for prediction of self-esteem and depression, and that depression was the most significant mediator of suicidal ideation. Peer support and peer conflict were found to act differently as predictors of suicidal ideation between boys and girls, and between younger and older adolescents. Study Three involved interviews with fifteen adolescents with high levels of suicidal ideation. It aimed to collect empirical information to supplement the quantitative findings and to explore the family, school and peer systems as buffers for maintaining adolescent psychological health. The findings revealed that adolescents with severe suicidal ideation not only had to encounter several stressors, such as parent-child conflict, classmate victimization and rejection, but also perceived themselves as having low support from their family, school and peers, which contributed to feelings of worthlessness, helplessness, depression, and subsequent suicidal thoughts. However, the support received from at least one support system could sufficiently enable them to deal with adversity. A caring school community comprising supportive teachers and peers was highlighted as an effective buffer, particularly for adolescents who had a dysfunctional family. This study pointed to an intimate interpersonal relationship in family, school and peers was the key to unlocking these support iisystems. This research has contributed to the growing literature dedicated to understanding the complex problem of suicidal ideation at both the adolescent psychological subsystem and their family, school and peer subsystems. Both quantitative and qualitative findings support the significant contribution of school and peer fac
