Abstract

Suicide ideators are a high risk group for different psychiatric problems. The present study was mainly aimed at understanding the psychiatric conditions of suicide ideators. For this, 200 (males and females) students of 11th and 12th grades with the age ranging from 15 to 18 years was selected from various Public Schools (English Medium) of Gurgaon. All the subjects were tested with Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSS;Beck et al., 1988) and Personality Assessment Inventory by Morey, 1999. Then, on the basis of their scores on BSS, 200 subjects were identified and divided in two groups i.e. Suicide Ideators Group (N=100) and Suicide Non-ideators Group(N=100). Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics (Mean & SD) to ascertain the normalcy of data, t-ratios to compare the two groups in terms of their mean scores of nine clinical scales. Results revealed that suicide ideators scored significantly high on eight clinical scales out of nine scales. Overall findings revealed the suicide ideators tend to develop the neurotic and psychotic spectrum disorders.
