Peer victimization is a serious issue among school-aged children. Chinese left-behind children tend to experience peer victimization and associated nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior. However, the possible improvement of subjective socioeconomic status (SES) based on increased family income may serve to buffer the relationship between peer victimization and NSSI, and this buffering effect may differ by level of social support. Thus, the current study aimed to examine the moderating effect of subjective SES on the relationship between peer victimization and NSSI by the level of social support among Chinese left-behind children. A total of 431 left-behind children and 447 non-left-behind children (comparison group) completed self-report scales measuring peer victimization, NSSI, subjective SES, and social support. Results showed that peer victimization was positively related to NSSI among left-behind children, but not among non-left-behind children. Moreover, for left-behind children with low levels of social support, high subjective SES intensified the association between peer victimization and NSSI; peer victimization was positively associated with NSSI among left-behind children who reported high subjective SES, but not among those with low subjective SES. However, high levels of social support seemed to protect the left-behind children with high subjective SES who experienced peer victimization from NSSI. For non-left-behind children with both parents present, high subjective SES played a protective role in the association between peer victimization and NSSI, regardless of the levels of social support they enjoyed. These findings contribute to an understanding of subjective SES as a moderating mechanism in the association between peer victimization and NSSI among left-behind children. Social support proved central to the protective role of subjective SES. Intervention programs to enhance social support can help to strengthen the protective effect of subjective SES on NSSI among left-behind children who experience peer victimization.

Abstract Many adolescents who engage in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) self-identify as religious, but the role of religion in their NSSI is not known. This exploratory study examined the relationship between religious coping and religiousness among adolescents who self-injure and the function of their NSSI. Thirty adolescents aged 12–19 years who had engaged in NSSI participated in an interview and completed questionnaires. Multiple regressions were used to examine the relationship between religious coping and NSSI, and Pearson correlations were used to assess the relationship between religiousness and function of NSSI. Greater use of positive religious coping was associated with lower likelihood of engaging in NSSI to rid oneself of unwanted emotions, whereas greater use of negative religious coping was associated with greater likelihood of engaging in NSSI for this reason as well as to avoid punishment or unwanted responsibility. Higher religiousness was associated with greater use of NSSI to communicate with or gain attention from others, whereas lower religiousness was associated with greater use of NSSI to relieve unwanted emotions. Having a greater understanding of how religious constructs are related to the various functions served by NSSI may inform treatment of this population, particularly among religious youth who self-injure.

Only approximately half of individuals engaging in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) ever disclose their behavior. Yet there is a dearth of research aimed at understanding NSSI disclosure and the outcomes of choosing to disclose, such as social reactions to NSSI disclosure. The current study aimed to develop and validate a measure of perceived social reactions to the disclosure of NSSI, the Self-Injury Social Reactions Questionnaire (SI-SRQ). Results supported a three-factor structure of the SI-SRQ assessing positive (tangible aid, emotional support) and negative social reactions in undergraduate ( n = 269), community ( n = 217), and recent NSSI ( n = 129) samples. The internal consistencies of the resultant subscales, in addition to the convergent validity, were also supported. The development of the SI-SRQ provides an avenue to enhance our knowledge of the relationship between social reactions to NSSI disclosure and disclosure outcomes, which may help inform educational efforts about responding to NSSI disclosures more effectively.

Suicide was the third leading cause of death in adolescents in the world in 2016 with a mortality rate of about 136,000 cases. Reasons teenagers commit suicide include family financial problems, psychological distress, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, and depression. In addition, the difficulty of professional help and social support from the surrounding environment also opens up opportunities for adolescents to commit suicide. Suicidal behavior is often associated with nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). NSSI is an act of self-injury with no intention to commit suicide, but according to the Interpersonal Theory for Suicide by Joiner (2005), NSSI’s actions are considered to be one of the factors increasing the ability to commit suicide attempts (acquired capability). This study is aimed at exploring the relationship between NSSI and acquired capability for suicide by meta-analysis study. Eight studies from 119 articles involving the term NSSI and acquired capability were studied using the random-effects model. A total of 3398 samples were included in the study. The results showed that the effect size between NSSI and acquired capability was (r = .208), which means that NSSI is positively correlated with acquired capability and has a weak relationship. The results of this study also show that this study has a high heterogeneity value (I2 = 91,48) and there is no publication bias. Bunuh diri adalah penyebab kematian nomor tiga pada remaja di dunia pada tahun 2016 dengan angka kematian sekitar 136.000 kasus. Alasan remaja melakukan bunuh diri antara lain adalah masalah-masalah keuangan keluarga, distres psikologis, rendahnya harga diri, kurang percaya diri, dan depresi. Selain itu, sulitnya pertolongan tenaga profesional dan dukungan sosial dari lingkungan sekitarnya juga membuka peluang para remaja untuk melakukan percobaan bunuh diri. Perilaku bunuh diri sering dihubungkan dengan Nonsuicidal Self-Injury (NSSI). NSSI merupakan tindakan perusakan diri dengan tanpa adanya keinginan untuk bunuh diri, namun menurut teori Interpersonal Theory for Suicide oleh Joiner (2005), tindakan NSSI dianggap menjadi salah satu faktor meningkatnya kemampuan seseorang untuk melakukan percobaan bunuh diri (acquired capability). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi hubungan antara NSSI dan acquired capability dengan studi meta-analisis. Delapan artikel korelasional dari 119 artikel yang melibatkan istilah NSSI dan acquired capability dipelajari menggunakan random-effect models. Sebanyak 3398 sampel dilibatkan dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nilai effect size antara NSSI dan acquired capability adalah sebesar (r = .208), yang berarti NSSI berkorelasi positif dengan acquired capability dan memiliki hubungan yang lemah. Hasil penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa studi ini memiliki nilai heterogenitas yang tinggi(I2 = 91,48) dan tidak terdapat bias publikasi.
