| dc.description.abstract | This quantitative descriptive-correlational study generally intended to know the relationship of socio demographic characteristics, suicide tendency, attachment style and self-discrepancy towards each other. The study hypothesized that the three main variables were significantly correlated towards each other and even with socio-demographic characteristics. Also, the study tends to determine if which of the attachment style is a predictor of suicide tendency. The obtained result from the study shows that the three main variables have no significant relationship towards each other. In exemption, avoidant attachment has a weak significant relationship towards suicide tendency which implies that this attachment could be a significant factor on one's tendency to commit suicide. Furthermore, in regression analysis avoidant attachment was also a significant predictor of suicide. On the other hand, sex and age have no significant relationship towards the three variables being explored. While for the relationship of school type and self-discrepancy both of the domains has a weak and moderate relationship to it. The result suggest that being in a public or private school could influence one's perspective on their obligations and responsibilities. Among the 8 respondents with the highest suicide tendency it was obtained that most of these respondents portray anxious attachment which predispose that being avoidant towards their parents could be a factor for the undesirable tendencies. The grade level of the screened respondents mostly falls at Grade 10 which might be a crucial level for every student when they are vulnerable to changelles and problems in life. | |
