Answers:
A. Teens are vulnerable because during the transition phase in cognitive development, they are not yet fully developed cognitively and have limited life experiences. Research suggests that suicidal individuals may have cognitive distortions regarding their ability to solve problems, thereby resulting in a negative attitude toward problem solving.
B.  The four psychosocial factors found to be significant for overall suicide risk were hopelessness, hostility, negative self-concept, and isolation.
C.  Being gay in-and-of-itself is not the cause of the increase in suicide. The increased risk comes from the psychosocial distress associated with being gay.
D.  According to the integrative model, interruptions in mother-daughter mutuality and the mother's limited capacity to mentor and support her daughter are linked to the suicide attempts of adolescent females.
E. Zayas proposed that the interaction of socioeconomic disadvantage, traditional gender-role socialization, acculturation, cultural identity, generational status, and intergenerational conflict converge interactively and additively to influence the suicidal behavior.
