Study aims to examine the influence of emotional intelligence on adolescent suicidal ideation and to find out the predictors of suicidal ideation among adolescents. The sample comprises of 50 adolescent students (21 males and 29 females), selected from higher secondary schools in Kerala, with ages ranging from 16-19 years. Emotional Intelligence Inventory (EII) and Suicidal Ideation Scale (SIS) were used for collecting the data. Data was analyzed using correlation analysis and step wise regression analysis. Result indicated that the three predictor variables in the stepwise regression analysis are intrapersonal efficacy, interpersonal efficacy and personal efficacy. Emotional Intelligence influences only 20.5% of suicidal ideation indicating that emotional intelligence has a significant negative correlation with suicidal ideation.
