abstract = {The present study investigated the relationship between attachment patterns –trust, communication and alienation– related to
mother, father and peers, depression and impulsivity in suicidal intention among adolescents, by a mediational and moderational
analysis. We evaluated the data of 395 Ecuadorian adolescents (54.2% males, 45.8% females) aged 14–19 years (M = 15.86,
SD = 1.00) recruited from several schools. They completed the following measures: the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment,
the Beck Depression Inventory and the Plutchik Impulsivity Scale. The mediational analyses indicated that, attachment –paternal
trustworthiness and alienation from both mother and peers– predicted suicide intention by two pathways: a more direct one
mediated by depression; another pathway in which the mediating role of impulsivity was added between attachment and
depression. No moderation effects were found. The role of lack of paternal trustworthiness and alienation/negative feelings
toward mother and peers are highlighted in the development of depression, which played a mediating role in suicide intention.
The role of negative social interactions and negative emotions in relation to suicide intention is discussed, which has several
implications for prevention programs for adolescents.},
