This study examined the relationships among perceived burdensomeness, hopelessness, depression, and suicidal ideation in adolescents(n=356) and elders(n=353), using path analysis. A multi-group analysis was also conducted to determine any differences in the structural relationships of these variables between adolescents and elders. Findings were as follows: Elders reported higher levels of all variables as compared to adolescents. Perceived burdensomeness directly leads to suicidal ideation, hopelessness, and depression, and it indirectly explains suicidal ideation by mediating hopelessness and depression. Path coefficients from perceived burdensomeness to hopelessness, from hopelessness to depression, and from hopelessness to suicidal ideation were found to be greater for elders, while the coefficient from depression to suicidal ideation was greater for adolescents. Perceived burdensomeness had an indirect effect on suicidal ideation through hopelessness or depression. Double-mediation effects of hopelessness and depression between perceived burdensomeness and suicidal ideation were also significant in both groups. Both universal and age-specific strategies for suicide prevention were discussed based on the results.
