Resumo(s)
Several studies have shown that as many as 20% of European schooled
adolescents report self-destructive thoughts/behaviours. Using multinomial
logistic regression analysis, the present study investigated the family and
individual variables that predict reports of these behaviours. Three groups, one
without reports of self-destructive thoughts/behaviours (NSDTB; n= 998), one
with reports of self-destructive thoughts/behaviours (SDTB; n= 268) and a clinical
group (CS; n= 42) of adolescents with a mean age of 15.88 (SD= 2.11),
participated in the study. Parenting styles, parental attachment, family
functioning, satisfaction with family relationships, self-esteem and internalising
and externalising symptoms, were analyzed. The findings suggest that increases
in mothers’ quality of emotional bond, fathers’ control and family cohesion and
decreases in age and mothers’ control lead to a decreased likelihood of belonging
to the SDTB group. However, being female, perceiving a high level of mothers’
inhibition of exploration and individuality, perceiving a high level of fathers’
rejection and having a low satisfaction with family relationships increase the
probability of belonging to the CS group.
