Abstract:
Drawing on the resilience-oriented socioecological framework, the current study contributes to scarce scholarship by exploring intrapersonal (i.e., gratitude) and interpersonal (i.e., parental autonomy support) factors in the longitudinal association between bullying victimization and adolescent non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). Participants were 238 Chinese adolescents (Mage at Time 1 (T1) = 13.45 years; 106 girls and 132 boys) based on a two-wave prospective design with data spanning one year. At T1, adolescents self-rated all study variables, and at Time 2 (T2), youth again reported their NSSI. The results showed a significant main effect (b = 0.12, SE = 0.05, p = 0.04), indicating that bullying victimization was positively related to T2 NSSI one year later, even controlling for T1 NSSI. Moderation analyses further indicated that parental autonomy support buffered against the positive association between bullying victimization and T2 NSSI, but only when adolescents experienced lower levels of gratitude. Specifically, for adolescents with lower levels of gratitude, high levels of parental autonomy support, in a compensatory way, prevented adolescents from NSSI after victimization occurred (b = -0.03, SE = 0.09, p = 0.78); by contrast, for those with higher levels of gratitude, bullying victimization was not significantly related to T2 NSSI, regardless of the levels of parental autonomy support (b = 0.07, SE = 0.04, p = 0.59 for higher parental autonomy support; b = 0.01, SE = 0.07, p = 0.93 for lower parental autonomy support). These findings suggest that gratitude and parental autonomy support, manifesting in a compensatory interaction pattern, could serve as targeted agents for breaking the vicious linkage between bullying victimization and NSSI.
摘要:
借鉴以韧性为导向的社会生态框架,当前的研究通过探索内省(即,感恩)和人际关系(即,父母自治支持)欺凌受害与青少年非自杀自我伤害(NSSI)之间纵向关联的因素。参与者是238名中国青少年(MageatTime1(T1)=13.45岁;106名女孩和132名男孩),基于两波前瞻性设计,数据跨越一年。在T1,青少年对所有研究变量进行自我评估,在时间2(T2),年轻人再次报告了他们的NSSI。结果显示显著的主效应(b=0.12,SE=0.05,p=0.04),表明欺凌受害与一年后的T2NSSI呈正相关,甚至控制T1NSSI。适度分析进一步表明,父母的自主性支持缓冲了欺凌受害与T2NSSI之间的正相关关系,但只有当青少年经历较低水平的感激之情时。具体来说,对于感恩程度较低的青少年,高水平的父母自治支持,以补偿的方式,青少年在受害后预防NSSI(b=-0.03,SE=0.09,p=0.78);相比之下,对于那些有更高感激程度的人,欺凌受害与T2NSSI没有显着相关,无论父母自主支持的水平如何(对于较高的父母自主支持,b=0.07,SE=0.04,p=0.59;对于较低的父母自主支持,b=0.01,SE=0.07,p=0.93)。这些发现表明,感恩和父母的自主性支持,表现为补偿性互动模式,可以作为有针对性的代理人,打破欺凌受害和NSSI之间的恶性联系。
