TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - The Role of Acculturation in Suicidal Ideation among Second-Generation Immigrant Adolescents in France JO - Transcultural psychiatry A1 - van Leeuwen, Nikki A1 - Rodgers, Rachel A1 - Régner, Isabelle A1 - Chabrol, Henri SP - 812 EP - 832 VL - 47 IS - 5 N2 - 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.
