Abstract
Parenting styles and perfectionism are connected to individual’s well-being. Negative parenting styles and maladaptive perfectionism will lead to high suicidal ideation. However, there were limited studies done on the relationship between parenting styles, perfectionism and suicidal ideation among undergraduate students in Malaysia. Therefore, the current study aimed to apply cross-sectional research design to investigate (1) the relationship between parenting styles and suicidal ideation, (2) the relationship between parenting styles and perfectionism, (3) the relationship between perfectionism and suicidal ideation, (4) the mediating role of perfectionism in the relationship between parenting styles and suicidal ideation among undergraduate students in Malaysia. Data was collected from 315 Malaysian undergraduate students using purposive sampling and online surveys. However, only 228 responses were used for data analysis, with participants had fulfilled specific criteria, which were (1) Malaysia undergraduate students, (2) Malaysian nationality. Scale of Parenting Style (SPS), Perfectionism Cognitions Inventory (PCI), and Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSSI) were employed to measure the perceived parenting style, frequency of perfectionistic thoughts, presence and severity of suicidal ideations and plans respectively. The result showed that there was a relationship between parenting styles and both suicidal ideation and perfectionism. Moreover, there was a positive relationship between perfectionism and suicidal ideation. Lastly, perfectionism did not serve as a mediator in this relationship. In conclusion, the findings of this study had provided valuable insights into the relationship between parenting styles, perfectionism and suicidal ideation which offer insights for future research and healthcare professionals to develop constructive intervention programs.
