Aim and Background: Adolescence is considered as a critical period for early diagnosis and intervention to prevent suicidal behavior, so the etiology of effective factors for suicide is essential. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the role of impulsivity, dark personality traits, perceived social support and anxiety sensitivity in predicting students' suicidal thoughts.
Methods and Materials: The type of study was descriptive-correlation. The statistical population of the study was all the male students of the second secondary level in the first district of Ardabil city in 2022-2023 (350 people), who were selected as a sample through the Karjesi and Morgan table and by multi-stage cluster random sampling. The research tools included the Impulsivity Scale by Barratt & et al (1995), Johnson and Webster's Dark Personality Traits Scale (2010), Zimet & et al's Perceived Social Support Scale (1988), Reiss and Peterson's Anxiety Sensitivity Questionnaire (1986), and Beck's Suicidal Ideation Scale (1991). Collected data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis simultaneously in SPSS version 18 software.
Findings: According to the results, there is a relationship between impulsivity 0.69, dark personality traits (Machiavellianism 0.55, narcissism 0.57 and psychopathy 0.50), perceived social support -0.36 and anxiety sensitivity 0.69 with suicidal thoughts in male students. Statistical significance was observed. Also, using 0.64 multiple regression, suicidal thoughts of male students were explained by variables of impulsivity, dark personality traits, perceived social support and anxiety sensitivity.
Conclusions: Considering the impact of impulsivity, dark personality traits, perceived social support, and anxiety sensitivity in students' suicidal thoughts, it is suggested that psychologists and specialists pay more attention to the role of these variables to reduce students' suicidal thoughts
