Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to explore the chain mediating role of negative affect and sleep quality between campus bullying and non - suicidal self - injury (NSSI) among adolescents.
Methods: 569 adolescents were selected through convenience sampling. Participants completed the Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Adolescent Non - suicidal Self - injury Assessment Questionnaire.
Results: Our result showed significant positive correlations among campus bullying, negative affect, sleep quality and NSSI. Negative affect and sleep quality were identified as independent and sequential mediators in the relationship between campus bullying and NSSI.
Conclusion: These findings elucidate the mechanisms linking campus bullying to NSSI, providing a preliminary basis for exploring the causal relationships among these variables. this study offers theoretical support for future research and inform the development of targeted interventions to reduce NSSI and improve the overall mental health of adolescents in China.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Psychology is the largest journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the psychological sciences, from clinical research to cognitive science, from perception to consciousness, from imaging studies to human factors, and from animal cognition to social psychology. Field Chief Editor Axel Cleeremans at the Free University of Brussels is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. The journal publishes the best research across the entire field of psychology. Today, psychological science is becoming increasingly important at all levels of society, from the treatment of clinical disorders to our basic understanding of how the mind works. It is highly interdisciplinary, borrowing questions from philosophy, methods from neuroscience and insights from clinical practice - all in the goal of furthering our grasp of human nature and society, as well as our ability to develop new intervention methods.
