Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of early adolescents' depression on suicidal ideation and the mediating effects of self-esteem and life satisfaction in the process. For this purpose, the path analysis model for depression, self-esteem, life satisfaction, and suicidal ideation were used to examine the 225 early adolescent students of grades between 4 and 6 attending elementary school. The main results are as follows. First, the self-esteem of early adolescents was partially mediated between depression and suicidal ideation. Second, the satisfaction of life of early adolescents was partially mediated between depression and suicidal ideation. In other words, in order to lower the suicidal ideation of early adolescents, various programs are need to be developed to improve self-esteem and life satisfaction, as well as apply them to practice.
