Abstract: The present study explored the relationship between adolescents' body dissatisfaction and suicidal ideation, as well as the mediating role of self-esteem and the moderating role of friendship quality. 802 ten-grade students from six high schools in Hubei, Anhui, Henan and Jilin provinces in China completed anonymous questionnaires regarding body dissatisfaction, suicidal ideation, self-esteem and friendship quality. This study indicated that:(1) Body dissatisfaction positively predicted suicidal ideation among the high school students; (2) Self-esteem mediated the relationship between body dissatisfaction and suicidal ideation; (3) Friendship quality moderated the second half of the model (i.e., the link between self-esteem and suicidal ideation). Specifically, the mediating effect of self-esteem was stronger for adolescents with low-quality friendships compared to those with high-quality friendships.

Key words: body dissatisfaction, suicidal ideation, self-esteem, friendship qualities, adolescent
