N2  - The aim of this study was to examine the correlates of suicidal behavior among 64 adolescents (ages 13-17 years) and 62 young adults (ages 18-35 years) within a psychiatric inpatient setting. We investigated the influence of impairment in general self-regulation, including specific behavioral dysregulation, on suicidal behavior within these two groups. Results suggested that suicidal adolescents and young adults experienced similar degrees of overall disruption in self-regulation. However, compared to their young adult counterparts, suicidal adolescents were characterized by more self-injurious and self-mutilative behaviors, as well as greater outward expression of anger. Results indicated that adolescent attempters were particularly prone to self-harm behavior. These findings suggest that specific psychopathology associated with suicidal behavior may differ across these developmental stages.<p />
