Current detection methods primarily rely on self-reports, which may be subjective and yield inaccurate results. The widely used implicit tool was not designed for NSSI and has certain limitations. Furthermore, few studies in China have employed implicit test to assess NSSI among non-clinical adolescents. Although individual characteristics (e.g., psychological flexibility) and microsystem factors (e.g., school climate) have well-established associations with self-reported NSSI, their influence on implicit NSSI remains unclear. To address these gaps, this study employed a novel implicit measure specifically developed for NSSI to distinguish Chinese adolescents with and without NSSI and to examine its predictive validity for future NSSI behavior. Additionally, the study analyzed the effects of psychological flexibility and school climate on implicit NSSI. In this longitudinal study, 502 adolescents (55.5% female; mean age = 14.25 years, SD = 1.65) completed the implicit NSSI test and self-report measures at baseline. Six months later, 399 adolescents (56.7% female; mean age = 14.25 years, SD = 1.61) from baseline completed follow-up self-report measures. Results indicated that adolescents with NSSI had significantly higher implicit NSSI scores than those without NSSI; however, the implicit NSSI did not significantly predict future NSSI. Regression analyses revealed significant negative effects of psychological flexibility and school climate on implicit NSSI. Network analysis showed that implicit NSSI was most strongly associated with baseline self-reported NSSI, followed by school bullying, while no significant associations were found with the subdimensions of psychological flexibility. Student-student relationships emerged as the strongest node in the network, followed by self-reported NSSI and defusion. These findings suggest that both implicit and self-reported measures should be considered for early detection of NSSI. Implicit NSSI representing a distinct construct from self-reported NSSI, may be effectively reduced by improving school climate and psychological flexibility. By integrating implicit and self-reported NSSI, this study provides new insights for understanding, preventing, and intervening NSSI in school settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":" ","pages":"2373-2391"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144225800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After controlling background variables, intervention effect, and previous victimization, the findings showed that, at the between-person level, both contextual factors (i.e., anti-bullying climate and school connectedness) were positively related to students' willingness to intervene in bullying; in addition, school connectedness was related to willingness to intervene bidirectionally at the within-person level. Gender was not a moderator of reciprocal relations. Overall, this study highlights the role of contextual factors in empowering bystanders and promoting positive bystander behaviors, which provides guidance for bullying prevention and interventions.

Prior research tends to treat burnout as a uniform phenomenon, overlooking subgroups that may differ in psychological risk and academic outcomes. This study addresses this gap by identifying distinct profiles of school burnout and examining their psychological and academic correlates in high-achieving adolescents, defined by their mean grade of 85 or above out of 100 and placement in the top 2%, which earned them admission to science high schools based on their performance on Türkiye's High School Entrance Exam (LGS). Participants included 443 students (225 females, 50.8%) aged 14 to 19 years (M = 15.9, SD = 1.11). Given the broad age range spanning early to late adolescence, developmental variability in academic expectations and emotional regulation is likely, which may influence how students experience burnout. Using Mixture Structural Equation Modeling (MSEM), in which latent profiles and structural pathways were estimated simultaneously, the study found that parental achievement pressure, self-oriented perfectionism, and socially prescribed perfectionism predicted fear of failure, which in turn negatively impacted grade point average. Both fear of failure and grade point average were significant predictors of burnout, with fear increasing burnout and grade point average serving as a protective factor. Latent Profile Analysis revealed three distinct student profiles: \"Calm but Underachieving\", \"Burnout Under Pressure\", and \"Self-Driven High Achiever\". Three-step regression analyses revealed that psychological symptoms varied meaningfully across profiles. Specifically, the \"Calm but Underachieving\" group had significantly higher odds of depression compared to the \"Self-Driven High Achiever\" group, despite reporting lower stress levels. Meanwhile, anxiety levels did not significantly differ across any profile, indicating that anxiety may be a more generalized emotional response among students regardless of their academic engagement. These findings underscore the importance of considering developmental differences and psychological risks unique to high-achieving adolescents. By identifying distinct burnout profiles, this study provides nuanced insights that address gaps in current understanding and support the development of targeted mental health interventions for high-achieving adolescents.","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144930334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
