This study tested a structural model to explain the relationship between the predictor variables of trait anger, anger suppression, entrapment, psychosomatic symptoms, depression, & resilience & the dependent variable of suicide ideation. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 11,393 Korean students. Trait anger, entrapment, psychosomatic symptoms, depression, & resilience had a direct effect on suicide ideation whereas anger suppression shows a significant indirect effect on adolescent suicide ideation. The predictor variables accounted for 39% of the variance in suicide ideation. (41 refs.)
