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.

The research method was descriptive-correlational modeling of structural equations. The statistical population consisted of all employees of Ardebil University of Mohaghegh who were selected by using stratified random sampling method in proportion to the size of each class. 280 subjects were selected as the statistical sample. Three general health questionnaires, a corruption inventory questionnaire and a psychological well-being questionnaire were used to collect the data. To analyze the data, correlation matrix and structural equation modeling (path analysis) were used. The findings of the research showed that there was a significant and positive relationship between mental health and administrative corruption (-0.54) and the psychological well-being (0.49). The relationship between psychological well-being and administrative corruption (-0.39) was negative and significant.

Also there were indirect effect big five personalities (extraversion β= 0/11, openness to experience β= 0/04, conscientiousness β= 0/14, and neuroticism β= - 0/25, P=0/001) on wisdom by the mediating role of coping self-efficacy.
