Abstract

This study examined the characteristics and the engagement mechanism of self-injury based on multifaceted risk factors suggested by the revised version of comprehensive theoretical models of non-suicidal self-injury. Among the total of 516 participants, 132 young adults who reported self-injurious behavior were used for the analysis. The results indicated that group with self-injury experiences showed significantly more signs of psychological maladaptation (e.g., higher trait affect intensity and lower distress tolerance) than the group without engagement in self-injury. Among the risk factors, trait affect intensity, childhood separation or loss experience and low distress tolerance were significant predictors of the engagement in self-injury. The path analytic results revealed that affect intensity showed an indirect effect on the engagement in self-injury via low distress tolerance, while the childhood separation or loss experience directly predicted the engagement in self-injury. The implications and limitations of the study were discussed.
