Abstract :Purpose: The main objective of this study is to examine the relationship between suicidal ideations in emerging adulthood and childhood trauma and intolerance to uncertainty among university students. Design & Methodology: The research follows a correlational survey model. The sample of the study consists of 257 university students who are currently enrolled in the academic year 2022-2023. Findings: Findings from the research indicate that childhood trauma and intolerance to uncertainty are significant predictors of suicidal ideation. Accordingly, it can be suggested that individuals in emerging adulthood who have experienced childhood trauma and have high levels of intolerance to uncertainty are more likely to have suicidal ideations. Implications & Suggestions: Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that future research conduct more comprehensive investigations on the relationship between suicidal ideations, intolerance to uncertainty, and childhood trauma in emerging adulthood.
