abstract="131 undergraduate university students (aged 18-24 yrs) participated in a study of the relationship between suicidal ideation and level and (in)stability of self-esteem, while controlling for the possible effect of depression. Level of self-esteem and (in)stability of self-esteem, suicidal ideation, and depression were measured using M. Rosenberg's (1965) Self-Esteem Scale, the scale for Suicidal Ideation, and the Beck Depression Inventory (A. T. Beck et al., 1961), respectively. <br><br>RESULTS of correlation analyses and an analysis of covariance show that suicidal ideation was significantly related to level of self esteem, but not to (in)stability of self-esteem. An interaction effect shows that for individuals with high self-esteem, variation in self-esteem stability did not have a significant moderating influence, whereas for those with low self-esteem, stable self-esteem appeared to be a protective factor.
