Abstract

BACKGROUND

Being subjected to bullying is a significant risk factor for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among adolescents. Parental support, peer support, and social connectedness play protective roles in mitigating NSSI in this population. However, the precise impact of the combined effects of parental and peer support on bullying and NSSI requires further investigation.

METHODS

This study employed the Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale, Delaware Bullying Victimisation Scale, Social Connectedness Scale, and the Ottawa Self-Injury Inventory to survey 1277 Chinese adolescents. Polynomial regression analysis and response surface analysis were applied to examine the mediating role of bullying and social connectedness in the relationship between parental and peer support matching and NSSI.

RESULTS

The results indicate that parental support (r = 0.287, P < 0.001), peer support (r = 0.288, P < 0.001), and social connectedness (r = 0.401, P < 0.001) were protective factors against NSSI in adolescents. Conversely, bullying (r = 0.425, P < 0.001) acts as a risk factor for NSSI in this population. Adolescents with low parental and peer support experienced more bullying than those with high parental and peer support, while those with low parental but high peer support experienced less bullying than those with high parental but low peer support (R^2 = 0.1371, P < 0.001). Social connectedness moderated the effect between bullying and NSSI in this model (β = 0.006, P < 0.001).

LIMITATIONS

Due to the under-representation of participants and lack of longitudinal data support, the explanatory power of causality between variables was limited. Future studies should include national samples and incorporate longitudinal studies to enhance the generalisability and robustness of the findings.

CONCLUSION

This study reveals the influence mechanism of parental and peer support matching experienced by adolescents on bullying and NSSI and the moderating role of social connectedness. These findings enrich the developmental theory of adolescent NSSI and provide reference for the prevention and intervention of adolescent NSSI behaviour.

摘要

背景

遭受欺凌是青少年非自杀性自伤（NSSI）的一个重要风险因素。父母支持、同伴支持和社会联系在减轻该人群的 NSSI 方面发挥着保护作用。然而，父母支持和同伴支持的综合效应对欺凌和 NSSI 的具体影响仍需要进一步研究。

方法

本研究采用儿童和青少年社会支持量表、特拉华州欺凌受害量表、社会联系量表和渥太华自我伤害清单对 1277 名中国青少年进行调查。采用多项式回归分析和响应面分析来检验欺凌和社会联系在父母支持和同伴支持匹配与 NSSI 之间关系中的中介作用。

结果

结果表明，父母支持（r=0.287，P<0.001）、同伴支持（r=0.288，P<0.001）和社会联系（r=0.401，P<0.001）是青少年 NSSI 的保护因素。相反，欺凌（r=0.425，P<0.001）是该人群 NSSI 的风险因素。与高父母支持和同伴支持的青少年相比，低父母支持和同伴支持的青少年经历更多的欺凌，而与高父母支持和低同伴支持的青少年相比，低父母支持但高同伴支持的青少年经历的欺凌较少（R^2=0.1371，P<0.001）。社会联系在该模型中调节了欺凌和 NSSI 之间的关系（β=0.006，P<0.001）。
