Abstract
The objective of the study was to identify the association between suicide risk and parental attachment in adolescents and youth of Santa Marta (Colombia). Participants were 481 subjects, 45.7% male and 54.3% female, between 13 and 20 years old (M = 16.33; DT = 1.48). The Suicide Risk Scale and the Attachment Inventory with parents were used. The results showed that 24.5% present a high suicide risk. Regarding attachment to the mother, 14.3% present ambivalent attachment, 7.9% unsorted attachment and 1.7% avoidant attachment. Regarding the style of attachment with the father, 20.2% present ambivalent attachment, 18.5% unsorted attachment and 4.2% avoidant attachment. Finally, there is an association between positive attachment with the mother (X2 = 70.468, gl = 1; p = .000) and the father (X2 = 33.287, gl = 1; p = .000) with low suicide risk. It is concluded that Negative Parental Attachment is associated with high suicide risk and Positive Parental Attachment with low suicide risk
