Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the relationship between alienation and suicidal ideation among school students. A total of 60 participants were included, consisting of 30 male and 30 female students from Deogiri School, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar District. A purposive sampling technique was employed to select the sample from the population. Data were collected using the Suicidal Ideation Scale, developed by Devendra Singh Sisodia and Vibhuti Bhatnagar (2011), and the Student Alienation Scale, developed by Dr. R. R. Sharma (1988). The Pearson correlation coefficient was utilized to examine the research objectives. The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between alienation and suicidal ideation among the students.
