The relationship between types of childhood abuse, suicide attempts, and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) was examined in a sample of 415 incarcerated adults (268 men, 147 women). Men and women were equally likely to experience childhood abuse, although women were more likely to report sexual abuse and men were more likely to report emotional neglect. Sexual abuse was the only type of abuse found to predict NSSI and suicide attempts in women. For men, physical abuse and physical neglect were significant predictors of NSSI and suicide attempts, respectively. Gender differences exist and should be examined in future research in this area.
在415名被监禁成年人(268名男性,147名女性)的样本中,研究了童年期虐待类型、自杀未遂和非自杀性自伤(NSSI)之间的关系。男性和女性经历童年期虐待的可能性相同,不过女性更有可能报告遭受性虐待,而男性更有可能报告遭受情感忽视。性虐待是唯一一种被发现可预测女性非自杀性自伤和自杀未遂的虐待类型。对于男性而言,身体虐待和身体忽视分别是非自杀性自伤和自杀未遂的重要预测因素。存在性别差异,未来该领域的研究应予以考察。
