Abstract

Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a serious public health concern among adolescents. Identifying risk factors of NSSI is important to effectively prevent or reduce such behavior. Child maltreatment is one of the most widely recognized risk factors for NSSI. How child maltreatment and NSSI is related, however, is still unclear. The present study tested the temporal relationship between physical and emotional abuse and NSSI, with distress intolerance as the potential mediator. Potential gender differences on these associations were also tested. We assessed all study variables among 2259 Chinese adolescents (53.8% females; M_age = 15.11 years, SD = 1.57) for three times at 6-month intervals. The results showed that distress intolerance only mediated the relationship between emotional abuse and NSSI, but not between physical abuse and NSSI. In addition, this mediation effect of distress intolerance was significant only for females. The findings of this study can help researchers and practitioners understand pathways by which child maltreatment impacts adolescent NSSI. Implications for preventions and interventions of NSSI were discussed.

The differences in NSSI frequency across the six schools were non-significant at Wave 1 (F [5, 2259] = .59, p > .05), but were significant at Wave 2 (F [5, 2259] = 4.98, p < .001) and Wave 3 (F [5, 2259] = 5.19, p < .001).

The model using listwise deletion also demonstrated an acceptable fit, χ²(N = 2210) = 581.37, df =, p < .001, CFI = .98, TLI = .97, SRMR = .02, and RMSEA = .06. The significance pattern of the individual paths in the model using listwise deletion was the same as that in the model using full information maximum-likelihood for missing data. Thus, we reported only the results of the mean substitution model. Interested readers may contact the correspondence author for the results of the listwise deletion model.

The multi-group analyses using listwise deletion for dealing with missing data yielded the same pattern of results. Thus, we did not present the results of the listwise deletion analyses. Interested readers may contact the correspondence author for these results.
