Abstract

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is an emerging concern in the field of public health. The objective of this study is to develop a conditional process model to investigate the relationship between social anxiety and NSSI, and the role of impulsiveness and self-esteem in this relationship. A convenience sample of 2717 university students (M_age = 19.81, 22.49% male) from Southern China was recruited. The age range of the participants is between 18 and 25 years. The data were analysed using Spearman correlation analysis, mediation analysis and moderation analysis. The study revealed a positive correlation between social anxiety and NSSI, with impulsiveness serving as a mediating factor in this association. The relationship between social anxiety and NSSI, impulsiveness and social anxiety, impulsiveness and NSSI were all found to be moderated by self-esteem. The prevalence of NSSI among college students exhibited a strong association with social anxiety and impulsiveness. The present investigation additionally demonstrated that there was no significant association between social anxiety, impulsivity and NSSI when high self-esteem was included. This finding implies that self-esteem plays a crucial role in safeguarding against NSSI.

社交焦虑、冲动、自尊对大学生非自杀性自伤的影响：条件过程模型

非自杀性自伤（NSSI）是公共卫生领域一个新出现的问题。本研究旨在建立一个条件过程模型，探讨社交焦虑与 NSSI 之间的关系，以及冲动和自尊在这一关系中的作用。本研究从华南地区招募了 2717 名大学生（年龄=19.81，男性占 22.49%）作为便利样本。参与者的年龄范围在 18 至 25 岁之间。采用斯皮尔曼相关分析、中介分析和调节分析对数据进行了分析。研究显示，社交焦虑与 NSSI 之间存在正相关，冲动是这一关联的中介因素。研究发现，社交焦虑与 NSSI、冲动与社交焦虑、冲动与 NSSI 之间的关系均受到自尊的调节。大学生的 NSSI 发生率与社交焦虑和冲动有密切关系。本调查还表明，如果将高自尊也包括在内，社交焦虑、冲动和 NSSI 之间并无显著关联。这一发现意味着，自尊在防止 NSSI 方面发挥着至关重要的作用。
