There has been limited longitudinal investigation to date into the association between bullying, self-harm, and suicidality in Australia and the impact of specific demographic differences on this relationship. This is despite the continued rise in the incidence of bullying, self-harm, and suicide. As such, the current study draws on data from the Longitudinal Survey of Australian children (LSAC) to examine the association between bullying, self-harm, and suicidality and explore the impact of demographic differences across three bullying related behaviors (being bullied, bullying others and being both bullied and bullying others). The evidence indicates that bully-victims exhibit the highest risk of self-harm and suicidality in Australia. When considering demographic differences, it was identified that females and adolescents aged 16-17-years-of-age had the highest risk of self-harm and suicidality. Further, a direct curvilinear relationship between age and the categories of self-harm was identified with an inflection point around 16-17 years. The study supports the need for further investigation into the association between bullying, self-harm, and suicidality longitudinally with a particular focus on other moderators.
迄今为止，澳大利亚对欺凌、自残和自杀之间的关系以及特定人口统计学差异对这种关系的影响进行的纵向研究有限。尽管欺凌、自残和自杀的发生率持续上升。因此，本研究利用澳大利亚儿童纵向研究（LSAC）的数据，检验了欺凌、自残和自杀之间的关联，并探讨了三种与欺凌相关行为（被欺凌、欺凌他人和同时被欺凌和欺凌他人）中人口统计学差异的影响。证据表明，澳大利亚的受欺凌者和欺凌者表现出自残和自杀的风险最高。在考虑人口统计学差异时，研究人员发现女性和 16-17 岁的青少年自残和自杀的风险最高。此外，还发现年龄与自残类别的关系呈直接曲线关系，拐点在 16-17 岁左右。该研究支持需要进一步调查欺凌、自残和自杀之间的纵向关联，特别是要关注其他调节因素。
