  • Title: The role of acculturation in suicidal ideation among second-generation immigrant adolescents in France.
    Author: van Leeuwen N, Rodgers R, Régner I, Chabrol H.
    Journal: Transcult Psychiatry; 2010 Nov; 47(5):812-32. PubMed ID: 21088105.
    Abstract:
    This study explored the contributions of sociocultural and psychopathological factors to suicidal ideation among adolescents. A sample of 292 French high school students with an immigrant background completed a questionnaire assessing suicidal ideation, borderline personality traits, depressive symptoms, parental attachment, life events, acculturation orientations, ethnic identity, cannabis and alcohol consumption, socioeconomic status and academic failure. Although stressful life events, depressive symptoms, and individualism were risk factors, and attachment to parents a protective factor for both boys and girls, some gender differences emerged. Borderline traits (risk factor), assimilation and marginalization (both protective factors) were significant predictors only among girls.
