    La victimización tradicional entre iguales y la cibervictimización son factores de riesgo predictores de la conducta suicida en adolescentes. La comunicación familiar es un factor protector todavía muy escasamente estudiado en la problemática específica de la ideación suicida en adolescentes que sufren victimización tradicional y cibervictimización. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar con dos modelos diferentes de mediación moderada los efectos directos e indirectos -mediadores- de la victimización tradicional y de la cibervictimización en la ideación suicida en adolescentes; así como el rol moderador de la comunicación familiar en las relaciones entre victimización tradicional, cibervictimización e ideación suicida. Método: Participaron 1007 adolescentes (51.9% chicos), entre los 12 y 18 años. Resultados: Se confirmaron efectos directos e indirectos significativos de la victimización tradicional y de la cibervictimización en la ideación suicida. La comunicación familiar moderó los efectos directos de la cibervictimización en la ideación suicida, pero no los efectos directos de la victimización tradicional en la ideación suicida. También, moderó la relación entre victimización tradicional y cibervictimización. Conclusiones: La comunicación familiar es un factor protector que disminuye la cibervictimización en adolescentes que sufren victimización tradicional y que reduce la ideación suicida en víctimas de cibervictimización.

    Traditional peer victimization and cyber-victimization are predictive risk factors for suicidal behavior in adolescents. Family communication is a protective factor that has seldom been studied in the specific problem of suicidal ideation in adolescent victims of traditional victimization and cyber-victimization. The objective of the present study was to use two different moderated mediation models to analyze the direct and indirect—mediating—effects of traditional victimization and cyber-victimization on suicidal ideation in adolescents, as well as the moderating role of family communication in the relationships between traditional victimization, cyber-victimization, and suicidal ideation. Method: 1007 adolescents (51.9% boys) aged 12-18 years participated. Results: Significant direct and indirect effects of traditional victimization and cyber-victimization on suicidal ideation were confirmed. Family communication moderated the direct effects of cyber-victimization on suicidal ideation, but not the direct effects of traditional victimization on suicidal ideation. In addition, it moderated the relationship between traditional victimization and cyber-victimization. Conclusions: Family communication is a protective factor associated with decreased cyber-victimization in adolescents who suffer traditional victimization and reduced suicidal ideation in victims of cyber-victimization.
