Objective: Committing suicide is a growing issue across the globe, and it is essential to know
the insights of the etiology of suicide. Therefore, we conducted this study to clarify the roles of
hardiness and hopelessness in relation to suicidal ideation.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Study participants consisted of 500 (230 males and
270 females) Malaysian undergraduate students from two public universities during the fall
semester 2014. All the respondents completed the Personal Views Survey, Beck Hopelessness
Scale, and the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation.
Results: Structural equation modeling indicated that undergraduate students with high level
of hopelessness and low level of hardiness were more likely to report suicidal ideation.
Hopelessness partially mediated the relationship between hardiness and suicidal ideation.
Furthermore, hardiness moderated the relationship between hopelessness and suicidal ideation.
Conclusion: These findings have enhanced the existing literature by clarifying the roles of
hopelessness and hardiness in relation to suicidal ideation among undergraduate students.

Clarifying the Roles of Hardiness and Hopeless- ness in Relation to Suicidal Ideation Among Malaysian Undergraduate Students.
Results: Structural equation modeling indicated that undergraduate students with high level of hopelessness and low level of hardiness were more likely to report suicidal ideation.
In addition, to the best of our knowledge, there are no studies regarding the effect of hopelessness as a media- tor between hardiness and suicidal ideation among Ma- laysian undergraduate students.
Finally, hopelessness can mediate the relation between hardiness (including components such as com- mitment, control, and challenge) and suicidal ideation.
3. Results Descriptive statistics Table 1 reports the inter-correlations between hopeless- ness, suicidal ideation, commitment, control, and chal- lenge for male and female students.
Structural model As shown in Figure 1, commitment, control, challenge, and hopelessness components showed a strong correla- tion with suicidal ideation.
Al- though the standard regressions for the direct relation- ships between suicidal ideation and variables such as commitment, control, and challenge decreased when hopelessness was added as a mediator variable in the mediation model, the relationship was still significant.
The empirical findings indicated that hopelessness played a mediating role between suicidal ideation and variables such as commitment, control, and challenge.
By finding a relationship between hardiness, hopelessness, and suicidal ideation among the undergraduate students, our results have confirmed the results of previous studies (Abdollahi et al."
