Suicidal thoughts could lead to suicidal behaviour; hence factors of ideation should be identified. This study investigated the relationship between personality traits and suicidal ideation among Malaysian adolescents. Participants consist of 132 adolescents, age between 16 to 18 years old, and were randomly selected for this study. Two instruments were used, namely Big Five Inventory-44 (BFI-44) to determine the personality traits, and Revised- Suicidal Ideation Scale (SIS) to measure the level of suicidal ideation.
