Resumen

El objetivo del presente estudio ha sido el de conocer el efecto mediador y moderador del apoyo entre iguales, del apoyo familiar y del apoyo docente en la relación entre inteligencia emocional e ideación suicida en adolescentes. Para este fin, han participado un total de 898 adolescentes (MEdad = 13.55, DT = 1.66), quienes han respondido a la Escala WLEIS, a la Escala de Apoyo Social Percibido, a la adaptación de la Escala de Clima Escolar, y al Inventario de Riesgo Suicida. Los resultados señalan cómo: (1) el apoyo docente y el apoyo familiar median la relación entre inteligencia emocional e ideación suicida; (2) independientemente del sexo y la edad, el apoyo familiar modera la relación entre inteligencia emocional e ideación suicida, observando cómo la inteligencia emocional ayuda a reducir la ideación suicida solo cuando existe medio o alto apoyo familiar; (3) el apoyo entre iguales y la edad moderan la relación entre inteligencia emocional e ideación suicida, observando cómo el apoyo entre iguales ayuda a que la inteligencia emocional reduzca la ideación suicida solamente con adolescentes de mayor edad. Estos resultados evidencian como, además de tener que trabajar la inteligencia emocional en adolescentes, en la medida de lo posible, introducir también la participación de las familias en los procesos de aprendizaje, así como fomentar las relaciones de calidad entre iguales podría acarrear especiales efectos para reducir una de las principales causas de muerte adolescente, como es el caso de la conducta suicida.
