Abstract: The present study explored the underlying mechanism between parental neglect and suicidal ideation among adolescents. 845 eight-grade students from eight full-time middle schools in seven provinces in China completed anonymous questionnaires regarding parental neglect, self-esteem, child hope and suicidal ideation. The results indicated that: (1) Parental neglect, self-esteem, hope and suicidal ideation were significantly associated with each other. In addition, parental neglect positively predicted individuals' suicidal ideation; (2) Self-esteem and hope mediated the link between parental neglect and suicidal ideation. Specifically, self-esteem and hope not only parallelly but also sequentially mediated the link between parental neglect and suicidal ideation. In summary, the present study uncovered the mechanisms underling the relation between parental neglect and adolescent suicidal ideation, which had certain practical significance for preventing and intervening suicidal behavior among adolescents.

Key words: parental neglect, suicidal ideation, self-esteem, hope, adolescent
