  • Description: In time span between 15 and 19 years, when looking for satisfactory meaning of life is typical, the changes in affectivity and behaviour have been occured. Frequency of suicide attempts and death due to suicide increases. Five hundred and thirty three adolescents participated (62.5 % women, mean age 17.8±1.0, range 15-21 years). They filled in the questions on sociodemographic data, suicidal behavior, Self-rating Depression Scale, Beck Anxiety Inventory and Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale. This study evaluates relationships between affectivity and suicidal behavior in men and women in adolescent period. Data were statistically assessed using t-test for two independent samples. Incidence of suicide ideation and attempts in the last year in men and women was comparable. Suicide ideation in last year in men was statistically positively associated with depression, anxiety and social phobia. More suicidal attempts in last year in men were asociated with higher levels of depression and anxiety. Religiosity was related to less incidence of suicidal ideation in last year, and higher levels of depression, anxiety and avoidant behavior in women. Significant suicidal behavior gender differences were not revealed. Anyway, women were more religious, depressive, anxious, reported higher social phobia than men. Decreasing depressive and anxious symptoms in the sample of adolescents might be an important protective factor in their suicidal behavior. As the design of this study is cross-sectional, the findings cannot be causally interpreted, neither generalized to the whole population of adolescents, forasmuch as part of this population was participated in this study.
