Abstract Suicide ideation is a growing concern worldwide, with meta-cognitive thinking (self –motivation, self, control, self-evaluation, self-efficacy, self-awareness, self-monitoring, attribution, and Resourcefulness) playing a crucial role in its development and maintenance. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between meta-cognitive thinking and suicide ideation, and to examine the effectiveness of meta-cognitive therapy (MCT) in reducing suicide ideation. A total of 117 participants within the age range (18-45) with suicide ideation were recruited and randomly assigned to either an MCT group or a control group. Results show Positive Correlations Suicidal ideation was positively correlated with self-control, resourcefulness, and self-monitoring. Individuals with higher suicidal thoughts may also have higher levels of self-discipline, problem-solving skills, and self-observation. Negative Correlations Suicidal ideation was negatively correlated with self-motivation, self-efficacy, and self-awareness. Those with higher suicidal ideation tend to have lower beliefs in their capabilities, motivation, and self-understanding. Interconnected Constructs Self-motivation correlated positively with self-evaluation, resourcefulness, and self-efficacy, aligning with self-determination theory. Similarly, self-control was positively correlated with attribution, self-efficacy, and self-awareness. The findings suggest that MCT may be a useful therapeutic approach for individuals with suicide ideation.
