(1) : Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) possibly emerges as well as remits in adolescence. To explore the development and transition of NSSI, this study examined the association between a wide range of interpersonal and intrapersonal predictors of NSSI initiation and cessation. (2) : Chinese adolescents ( = 913) completed self-reported surveys at baseline and at a six-month follow-up. The sample included 625 adolescents who reported no NSSI and 288 adolescents who reported engagement in NSSI at baseline. (3) : Among the adolescents without NSSI at baseline, 24.3% engaged in NSSI at follow-up (NSSI initiation group). Among the adolescents with NSSI at baseline, 33.3% reported no NSSI at follow-up (NSSI cessation group). Loneliness, beliefs about adversity, problem behavior, and prosocial behavior were the significant factors in predicting subsequent NSSI initiation. None of the potential predicting factors were associated with subsequent NSSI cessation. (4) : These results indicate the importance of intrapersonal factors in Chinese culture, which could be used to identify at-risk adolescents and to design interventions.
(1) : 非自杀性自伤（NSSI）可能在青少年时期出现并缓解。为了探索 NSSI 的发展和转变，本研究探讨了广泛的人际和内在预测因素与 NSSI 开始和停止之间的关联。(2) : 中国青少年（n=913）在基线和六个月随访时完成了自我报告调查。样本包括 625 名报告没有 NSSI 的青少年和 288 名基线时报告有 NSSI 的青少年。(3) : 在基线时没有 NSSI 的青少年中，24.3%在随访时出现了 NSSI（NSSI 开始组）。在基线时有 NSSI 的青少年中，33.3%在随访时报告没有 NSSI（NSSI 停止组）。孤独感、对逆境的信念、问题行为和亲社会行为是预测随后 NSSI 开始的重要因素。没有任何潜在的预测因素与随后的 NSSI 停止有关。(4) : 这些结果表明内在因素在中华文化中的重要性，这可以用来识别高危青少年，并设计干预措施。
