Self-determination

offers

the

possibility

of

framework

for

understanding the impact of negative life events on suicide ideation that

is mediated by hopelessness, at least partially, and that self-determination
influences peoples diathesis, making them less vulnerable in the face of
such events. The researchers also applied SDT to examine adolescent
students

intrinsic

motivation

and

extrinsic,motivation

using

motivational activities. The SDT framework enables researchers to

examine the relationships between negative life events and hopelessness
and between negative life events and suicide ideation, as well as the
relationship between hopelessness and suicide ideation, should thus be
weaker for highly self-determined people than for low self-determined
people. This SDT framework explored that self-determined acts as a
protective factor against negative life events and hopelessness, making
suicide ideation a less systematic outcome of these factors.
