| Sumario: | Mexican families with adolescent children have changed their roles according to the context, impacting the communicative and psych affective processes, presenting emotional dysregulation, hopelessness, depressive symptoms that lead to suicidal ideation and self-injurious behavior. The aim of the study was to analyze predictive psychosocial indicators for suicidal ideation and self-injurious behavior in school-aged adolescents. With an empirical analytical quantitative methodology, with a non-experimental explanatory design, the predictive strength values were identified through an unweighted least squares trajectory analysis of structural equations with 835 adolescents at school used through non-probabilistic intentional sampling with informed consent and assent. Optimal adjustments of the predictive model and acceptable reliability observed in the seven instruments and a model proposed with distal factors such as family functioning and emotional regulation, intermediate factors such as hopelessness and proximal factors such as anxiety and depression. It found that the distal and intermediate variables contributed to the prediction of both phenomena, but that the proximal ones differentiated the contribution of depression with suicidal ideation and anxiety with self-injurious behavior. It concluded that family functioning promotes the development of emotional regulation, which, in turn, is associated with the appearance of hopelessness when there are emotional crises in adolescents. When hopelessness is associated with depression, the probability of presenting suicidal ideation increases, while if hopelessness is associated with anxiety, the probability of presenting self-injurious behavior without suicidal ideation increases. |
