ABSTRACT
The present study aimed to investigate the “relationship between personality and suicidal ideation” among Mizo Adolescents. The study comprised a total of 300 adolescents (150 males and 150 females) from several colleges and schools in Aizawl, Mizoram. The individuals were assessed using the Adult Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (Reynolds, 1991b) and the NEO-FFI-3 (McGrae & Costa, 2004). According to the results, the tests were reliable among the Mizo adolescents. Suicidal ideation, as well as all five personality traits, revealed gender difference. The personality trait ‘Openness’ was shown to have a significant negative relationship with ‘Suicidal Ideation’ (- 0.150**). According to further analysis, ‘openness to experience’ was proven to be a strong predictor of suicidal ideation.
