- Abstract: Objective To explore the effects of family functioning,peer victimization and school connectedness on nonsuicidal self-injury in adolescents,as well as the mediating effect of psychache in these relationships.Methods A total of 525 junior high school students in Foshan City were surveyed using the brief Family Function Scale,Peer Victimization Scale,School Connectedness Scale,Psychache Scale,and Nonsuicidal Self-injury Scale.Descriptive statistics and correlation analyses were performed using SPSS 23.0,and mediation analysis was conducted using Mplus 7.4.Results ① Family functioning could directly predict adolescent non-suicidal self-injury(β=-0.20,P＜0.01),but did not exert an indirect effect through psychache(P=0.123).② Peer victimization could not directly predict adolescent non-suicidal self-injury(β=0.10,P=0.133),but had an indirect effect through psychache,with an indirect effect value of 0.142(P＜0.001).③ School connectedness could not directly predict adolescent non-suicidal self-injury(β=0.13,P=0.053),but had an indirect effect through psychache,with an indirect effect value of-0.128(P＜0.001).Conclusion Psychache fully mediates the relationship between peer victimization,school connectedness,and non-suicidal self-injury in adolescents,but it does not mediate the relationship between family functioning and adolescent non-suicidal self-injury.
