Summary:•This is the first article to state that better core self-evaluation is a protective factor against suicidal ideation and mediates the relationship between depression and suicidal ideation.•Our dependent variable was treated as a binary variable (yes/no), it was hard to get mediation effects, we used two methods to get our result, generalized structural equation model in Stata and RMediation.•Our sample size is large enough. To explore the role of core self-evaluation in mediating between depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation in Chinese adolescents. We used the cluster sampling method to analyze 11,563 students from five primary and secondary schools in China for depressive symptoms, core self-evaluation, and suicidal ideation using the following scoring scales: Core Self-Evaluation Scale (CSES), Center for Epidemiologic Survey Depression Scale (CES-D), the Second Edition of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI- II), Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED), and Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Checklist (ASLEC). The incidence of depression was 29.7%; anxiety, 34.2%; and suicidal ideation, 28.0%. Core self-evaluation was a protective factor for suicidal ideation [OR 0.947, 95% CI 0.937–0.959, p
