Being non-heterosexual, particularly bisexual, is associated with high rates of engagement in NSSI amongst young adults. The goal of the present study was to determine if parenting practices, specifically parental monitoring, and sexual orientation moderate engagement with NSSI. Undergraduates (N = 1,353) completed a survey on sexual orientation, non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) acts, and multiple aspects of perceived parental monitoring during high school. Moderation analyses revealed that most facets of parental monitoring were similarly negatively correlated with NSSI for both individuals whose sexual orientation where nearly, or entirely, gay and heterosexual youth. Youth who were neither exclusively heterosexual nor exclusively gay (mixed sexual orientation) reported the most NSSI acts, and no facet of parental monitoring predicted reduced NSSI acts for this group. While previous literature shows that many aspects of parental monitoring may be protective against engagement in health risk behaviors, the present study adds to these findings that similar aspects are negatively associated with self-injurious behavior for some, but not all, individuals. More research is needed to better understand the causes of increased NSSI for individuals with a mixed sexual orientation.
非异性恋，尤其是双性恋，与年轻人中较高的非自杀性自伤（NSSI）发生率相关。本研究的目的是确定养育方式，特别是父母的监督，以及性取向是否会调节与NSSI的关联。本科生（N = 1353）完成了一项关于性取向、非自杀性自伤行为以及高中期间感知到的父母监督多个方面的调查。调节分析显示，对于性取向接近或完全为同性恋的个体以及异性恋青年，父母监督的大多数方面与NSSI的负相关程度相似。既非完全异性恋也非完全同性恋（混合性取向）的青年报告的NSSI行为最多，并且父母监督的任何一个方面都不能预测该群体NSSI行为的减少。虽然先前的文献表明父母监督的许多方面可能对参与健康风险行为具有保护作用，但本研究进一步表明，类似的方面对部分而非所有个体的自伤行为具有负相关关系。需要更多研究来更好地理解混合性取向个体NSSI增加的原因。
