Previous studies have mostly focused on a single interpersonal perspective, and it remains uncertain how the cumulative interpersonal risk across time and domains interacts with NSSI and suicide. The current study employed cross-lagged panel models (CLPM) and random intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPM) to investigate the interaction among cumulative interpersonal risk, NSSI, and suicide attempts at both the between-person and within-person levels, while examining sex differences in these relationships. A total of 1038 Chinese adolescents (47.0% girls; baseline M<sub>age</sub> = 12.35 years, SD = 0.52) participated in a four-wave longitudinal survey with 6-months intervals. The results showed that at the between-person level, there were reciprocal predictive relationships between cumulative interpersonal risk, NSSI and suicide attempts. At the within-person level, changes in NSSI affected changes in cumulative interpersonal risk, and suicide attempts exhibited a reciprocal relationship with cumulative interpersonal risk and NSSI, with significant sex differences observed. These findings underscore the stable and trait-like associations between cumulative interpersonal risk, NSSI and suicide attempts. Given these findings, to reduce the occurrence of suicide among adolescents, it is essential to target interventions aimed tat enhancing their interpersonal adaptability.</p>","PeriodicalId":17624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth and Adolescence","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142710226","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}

A positive correlation was also found between psychologically controlling parenting and bullying victimization (not perpetration). Significant moderating variables included the identity of the caregiver, country of origin, ethnic group, reporter of parenting, reporter of bullying, and measure of bullying. Specifically, the mother's psychological control was more related to bullying perpetration and victimization than the father's. Compared to other countries and ethnic groups, the relationships between psychologically controlling parenting or negative/harsh parenting and bullying were more positive in studies of Chinese and Asians. The relationship between negative/harsh parenting and bullying demonstrated a greater effect size in self-reported measures of parenting and bullying. Finally, a stronger correlation was found between negative/harsh parenting and bullying victimization when using the Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire to measure bullying.

Research on informal social control and network closure suggests that the violence-reducing association of positive school climate will be enhanced among schools where students are more densely tied through their friendships. Research on youth conflict and subversion of control suggests the opposite. These hypotheses are tested with data from Waves I-II of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (n = 11,771; 49% Female; Age mean = 15.04, SD = 1.60). Consistent with the conflict/subversion hypothesis, analyses indicate that the inverse association between positive school climate and adolescent violence is only evident among schools with a very low density of friendship ties. Strikingly, however, there is evidence that a more positive school climate is associated with increases in violence among youth attending schools with a high density of friendship ties.
