Abstract

Suicide is one of the main causes of death among teenagers (World Health Organization; WHO, 2019). Suicidal-related behaviour (SRB) (suicidal ideation and suicidal intent/self-harm behavior) is one of the main risk factors for suicide. Hence the importance of detecting predictive variables of SRB. The main purpose of this study was to analyze the association and explanatory power that combined dimensions of personality in comparison with uncombined dimensions in relation to SRB. Participants were 1027 teenagers (girls 62.2%) aged between 13 and 18 (mean age = 15.59; SD = 1.29). Personality dimensions were assessed with the Big Five Inventory and the SRB with the Youth Self Report. Neuroticism combined with the remaining personality dimensions, is associated with better predictions of SRB than the uncombined dimensions. The relative risk (RR) of SRB combining personality dimensions were high (RR = 10 in some of these combinations) and the explanatory power of some of them reaches 23%.
