This process was replicated in a hierarchical regression model predicting suicidal ideation; in addition, depression was included in the model due to its known predictive relationship with suicidal ideation (see Table 2). The first step included age, gender, and depression. This model was significant, accounting for 54.8% of the variance in suicidal ideation. Problem-focused coping was added in the second step and was not a significant independent predictor of suicidal ideation, though the model remained significant. Emotion-focused coping and avoidant coping were added in the final step. Even though emotion- focused and avoidant coping were not significant independent predictors of suicidal ideation, the final model was significant and the strongest, accounting for 55.0% of the variance.
