Abstract: Suicide is a major social and public health problem which facing the world. In present study, we tested the chain mediating roles of self-esteem and emotional coping style between cyber-victimization and suicidal ideation among adolescents.819 questionnaires were issued and 802 valid questionnaires were finally collected. The research tools were "Cyber-victimization Scale", "Self-esteem Scale", "Coping Style Scale" and "Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation". The results indicated that:Cyber-victimization affects suicidal ideation through three indirect paths:through the mediating role of self-esteem; through the mediating role of emotional coping style; through the chain mediating role of both self-esteem and emotional coping style. Therefore, cyber-victimization not only directly affected adolescents' suicidal ideation, but also indirectly influenced their suicidal ideation through the multiple mediating effects of self-esteem and emotional coping style. In summary, this study uncovered the mechanism underlying the relationship between cyber-victimization and suicidal, which contributes to the understanding of the complex mechanism between cyber-victimization and its outcomes.

Key words: adolescents, cyber-victimization, suicidal ideation, self-esteem, emotional coping style
