“…Additionally, other studies have also shown that parental support may play a buffering role between victimization and internalizing distress caused by bullying (e.g., Davidson and Demaray 2007;Flaspohler et al 2009;Flouri and Buchanan 2002), and between psychological distress and NSSI (e.g., Baetens et al 2014;Tatnell et al in press). These findings are in line with the buffering hypothesis of social support (Cohen and Wills 1985;Jackson 1992) which states that social support can function as a buffer against different types of stress (Pouwelse et al 2011;Wolff et al 2014).…”

“…Additionally, parental support could moderate the association between victimization and depressive mood given that parental support could temper the stress caused by the victimization (e.g., Davidson and Demaray 2007). In keeping with the idea that parent support may decrease negative affect, we also hypothesized that parents support would mediate the association between depressive mood and NSSI (e.g., Baetens et al 2014). At an exploratory level, we also investigated whether the association between bullying, depressive mood, and NSSI would be moderated by parental support.…”

We investigated the associations of bullying and victimization with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), as well as the mediating role of depressive mood in a sample of 785 adolescents. Further, we explored the moderating role of parental support in these associations. All participants completed questionnaires on bullying, victimization, NSSI, depressive mood, and parental support. Almost 21 % of adolescents engaged in at least one form of NSSI. Both bullying and victimization of being bullied increased the risk of engaging in NSSI. The relationships of both bullying and victimization with NSSI were partially mediated by depressive mood. Finally, the relationships of both bullying and victimization with NSSI and of depressive mood with NSSI were found to be moderated by parental support, indicating that these relationships were less pronounced in adolescents who experienced high parental support. Hence, we underscore the need to include both emotion-regulation training and family-based interventions into bully intervention programs to prevent NSSI.

“…Bureau et al [15] found a positive association between NSSI and both perceived parental behavioral and parental psychological control. Furthermore, Baetens [16] found a significant interaction of parent-reported support and parental behavioral control in relation to NSSI, such that the combination of high control and low support increases for the engagement in NSSI most. However, the underlying mechanism linking parental psychological control and NSSI is still unclear.…”

“…A great deal of empirical research in this area has identified significant associations between various dimensions of early relationships with parents and NSSI in adolescents and young adulthood. Specifically, childhood physical and sexual abuse, parental control, emotional neglect, disruptions in parent-child bonds, and experiences of separation and loss contributed to later NSSI among adolescent and young adult community samples [15,16,[19][20][21][22]]. …”

“…Both intrapersonal and interpersonal risk factors for NSSI have been examined, with most studies focusing on intrapersonal risk factors [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Within interpersonal risk factors, invalidating family relationships has been paid much attention [15][16][17]. But the mechanisms underlying the association between invalidating family relationships and NSSI have rarely been studied.…”

Objective: To explore the relationship between parental psychological control and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and examine whether negative emotions (i.e., anxiety, depression, and stress) mediated this relationship among a Chinese adolescent sample in rural areas. Methods:A number of 381 Chinese adolescents from a junior high school participated in this study. They aged from 12 to 17 years (M=13.86, SD=1.08). Participants completed questionnaires assessing NSSI, negative emotions and parental psychological control. Results:We found that negative emotions and parental psychological control were significantly associated with NSSI. What's more, our results showed that negative emotions fully mediated the relationship between parental psychological control and NSSI after controlling for gender and grade. Conclusion:Parental psychological control as one of the invalidating parenting styles may heighten one's negative emotions, which may then lead to the engagement in NSSI. Implications for the treatment of adolescents with NSSI and suggestions for their parents in the context of the Chinese culture context for rural areas were proposed in the study.

IMPORTANCEConsiderably less is known about self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) in preadolescence than older age groups, owing partly to the common view that young children are incapable of suicidal thoughts. Yet, preadolescent suicide has increased in recent years and is now the fifth leading cause of death in this age group, leading the National Institute of Mental Health to identify it as a priority for research and intervention.OBJECTIVE To assess prevalence estimates of preadolescent SITBs, identify correlates of these outcomes, and conduct head-to-head comparisons of preadolescent and adolescent SITBs in terms of associated characteristics.DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Embase were systematically searched from inception through December 23, 2021, for studies on the prevalence and correlates of preadolescent SITBs. The search was restricted to English language publications and peer-reviewed journals.STUDY SELECTION Two reviewers independently identified studies providing data on prevalence and correlates of preadolescent SITBs.DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Two reviewers independently extracted data from each study, and the Joanna Briggs Institute Checklist for Prevalence Studies was used to assess study quality. Pooled prevalence and Cohen d were derived from random-effects meta-analyses. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) reporting guideline was followed. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURESPrevalence and correlates of suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, suicide deaths, and nonsuicidal self-injury among preadolescents.RESULTS Fifty-eight studies with 626 486 590 individuals were included. Lifetime prevalence of suicide in the general population was 0.79 per 1 million children. Prevalence for lifetime suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, and nonsuicidal self-injury among preadolescents were 15.1%, 2.6%, and 6.2%, respectively, in community samples. These data suggest that approximately 17.0% of preadolescents with suicidal ideation transition to attempting suicide. Across several analyses, male individuals appear more likely to have SITBs in preadolescence than adolescence. Correlate data were modest for SITBs other than suicidal ideation, but among specific disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (suicidal ideation: d = 0.54 [95% CI, 0.34-0.75]) and depression (suicidal ideation: d = 0.90 [95% CI, 0.71-1.09]; suicide attempts: d = 0.47 [95% CI, 0.26-0.68]) emerged as the strongest correlates. Among interpersonal factors, child maltreatment (suicidal ideation: d = 2.62 [95% CI, 1.56-3.67]) and parental support (suicidal ideation: d = −0.34 [95% CI, −0.46 to −0.22]) yielded the largest effect sizes. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCEIn this systematic review anda meta-analysis, although preadolescent suicide deaths were rare, other SITB types occur with concerning frequency. Male individuals were at greater risk for SITBs in preadolescence relative to adolescence. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, child maltreatment, and parental support were especially...
