The present study aimed to investigate the potential role of perceived stress, impulsivity trait, executive dysfunction in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) thoughts among college students, as well as the gender differences.
A sample of 890 university students completed self-report measures of NSSI thoughts in the past month, the level of perceived stress, impulsivity traits, and executive dysfunction.
Compared to those with low level of perceived stress, participants with high level of perceived stress reported significant higher levels of impulsivity trait and executive dysfunction, and higher frequency of NSSI thoughts, and there were no gender differences. Male participants with NSSI thoughts, compared to males without NSSI thoughts, reported significant higher levels of perceived stress and executive dysfunction. Female participants with NSSI thoughts, compared to females without NSSI thoughts, reported significant higher levels of perceived stress, impulsivity trait, and executive dysfunction. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed only executive dysfunction was associated with NSSI thoughts in males, while only perceived stress was associated with NSSI thoughts in females.
This study revealed different influence factors for NSSI thoughts in male and female college students. NSSI thoughts in males were more likely associated with executive dysfunction while in females were due to recently perceived stress.
本研究旨在探讨感知压力、冲动特质、执行功能障碍在大学生非自杀性自伤(NSSI)想法中的潜在作用,以及性别差异。
890名大学生样本完成了关于过去一个月内NSSI想法、感知压力水平、冲动特质和执行功能障碍的自我报告测量。
与感知压力水平低的参与者相比,感知压力水平高的参与者报告的冲动特质和执行功能障碍水平显著更高,NSSI想法的频率也更高,且不存在性别差异。有NSSI想法的男性参与者与没有NSSI想法的男性相比,报告的感知压力和执行功能障碍水平显著更高。有NSSI想法的女性参与者与没有NSSI想法的女性相比,报告的感知压力、冲动特质和执行功能障碍水平显著更高。分层回归分析显示,只有执行功能障碍与男性的NSSI想法相关,而只有感知压力与女性的NSSI想法相关。
本研究揭示了男女大学生NSSI想法的不同影响因素。男性的NSSI想法更可能与执行功能障碍相关,而女性的NSSI想法则归因于近期感知到的压力。
