This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between self-efficacy and suicidal ideation in ordinary and addicted individuals. Our statistical population covers 150 people, including 75 ordinary people and 75 addicts who were selected by random sampling. The research tools included Sherer's self-efficacy scale (GSES) and the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSSI). Pearson correlation and multivariate analysis (MANOVA) were used to analyze the data. The results showed that: self-efficacy is negatively and significantly related to suicidal ideation; i.e. suicidal ideation is decreased by increasing self-efficacy. Conversely, the self-efficacy rate is higher in females than in males, and the rate of suicidal ideation in addicts is significantly higher than in normal people.
