The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential mediating effects of depression and psychache (i.e., extreme mental pain) on the relationship between parental invalidation and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) in young adults.
A sample of 2474 university students responded to previously validated measures of current NSSI, childhood parental invalidation, depression, and psychache.
Using a parallel mediation model, path analysis using structural equation modeling demonstrated full mediation by depression and psychache of the link between parental invalidation and NSSI.
Findings suggest that the association between invalidating childhood environments and NSSI has the potential to be mitigated by addressing issues of depression and psychache.
本研究旨在评估抑郁和心理痛苦(即极度的精神痛苦)在青年成人中对父母忽视与非自杀性自伤(NSSI)之间关系的潜在中介作用。
2474名大学生样本对先前验证过的关于当前非自杀性自伤、童年期父母忽视、抑郁和心理痛苦的测量工具进行了回应。
使用平行中介模型,通过结构方程模型进行的路径分析表明,抑郁和心理痛苦完全中介了父母忽视与非自杀性自伤之间的联系。
研究结果表明,通过解决抑郁和心理痛苦问题,有可能减轻童年忽视环境与非自杀性自伤之间关联的影响。
