The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of exposure to school violence on adolescents’suicidal risk. In addition, the moderating effect of parent-adolescent positive communication (TSL)was examined. For the purpose, data from “The domestic violence on children and adolescents”section of the 2010 National Data on Domestic violence, which was conducted by the Ministry ofGender Equality and Family, was used. A total of 369 middle-school students participated in thisstudy. The results showed that the victimization experience of school violence was significantlyassociated with suicidal risk. At the same time, parent-adolescent positive communication (TSL)significantly resulted in a lower level of suicidal risk. Meanwhile parent-adolescent positivecommunication (TSL) had a moderating effect between school violence and suicidal risk as animportant protection factor. From these findings, the necessity of the intervention of school socialworkers in educational environments to decrease suicidal risk caused by school violence and TSL,as a parent-adolescent positive communication program, were suggested to improve familyfunctioning.
