Introduction: The present study was conducted to determine the role of Self-concept, self-esteem and social health in predicting the suicidal thoughts of male students. Method: The research method was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population included all male high school students in Ardabil during 2017-2018. Of the population, 354 subjects were selected by multi-stage random cluster sampling. In order to collect data, the instruments of self-concept (Mandaglio & Pyryt, 1995), selfe-steem (Coopersmith, 1967), social health (Keyes & Shapiro, 2004) and suicidal thoughts (Beck, 1991)) were used. Results: The results showed a significant relationship between Self-concept (r=-0.49), self-esteem (r=-0.57) and social health (r=-0.59) and the suicidal thoughts of male students (p<0.05). In addition, the results of multiple regression showed that self-concept -0.16, self-esteem -0.24 and social health -0.29 significantly predict the suicidal thoughts of male students (p<0.05). Conclusion: Male students' suicidal thoughts is predictable by the self-concept, self-esteem and social health. Therefore, it is suggested that psychologists and counselors consider the role of self-concept, self-esteem and social health to decrease the level of students' suicidal thoughts.
