Objective: Academic life constitutes a fundamental dimension of student development, exerting a significant influence on personal growth and broader societal outcomes. Recent scholarly attention has increasingly focused on the association between personal responsibility and various psychological variables. This study aimed to examine the relationship between responsibility—and its underlying dimensions and suicidal tendencies among female students in the second cycle of secondary education in Shiraz, Iran.
Method: This study employed a quantitative, cross-sectional design. The target population comprised all female students enrolled in the second cycle of secondary education in Shiraz during the 2022–2023 academic year. Using a multistage cluster sampling method, a sample of 380 students was selected based on Cochran’s formula. Data collection was conducted using the Glenn and Nelson Responsibility Questionnaire (1998) and the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (1961). Data were analyzed using SPSS software, employing Pearson correlation and analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Findings: Demographic analysis indicated that the majority of respondents were 12th-grade students in the humanities track, with GPAs ranging from 16 to 18, and living with both parents. Paternal education was primarily at the high school diploma level, with employment in the private sector, while the majority of mothers were homemakers with primary education. Household income predominantly ranged between 100 and 150 million IRR per month. The Pearson correlation coefficient was found to be -0.678 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant inverse relationship between responsibility and suicidal tendencies.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that responsibility serves as a protective factor against suicidal tendencies. Furthermore, individual, familial, and socioeconomic variables were found to be significant predictors of this phenomenon. Consequently, the development of multi-level, targeted preventive interventions is essential to bolster adolescent mental health and build resilience.
