Vanessa Catteau, Henri Chabrol
The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationships between depressive symptomatology, suicidal ideation and coping strategies to face depressive feelings in adolescents : 382 high-school students completed a questionnaire assessing coping strategies to face depression and a questionnaire assessing depressive symptomatology and suicidal ideation. Multiple regression analyses showed that negative cognitions (rumination and self-blame) and lack of problem-focused strategies were the main predictors of the intensity of depressive symptomatology whereas depressive symptomatology and use of psychoactive substances were the main predictors of suicidal ideation for both boys and girls.
