Overview

This cross-sectional study finds that alexithymia mediates and friendship quality moderates NSSI among adolescents, suggesting targeted psychological interventions.

Key Points

  • Non-suicidal self-injury is significantly predicted by school bullying, particularly in rural adolescents.
  • Alexithymia is a partial mediator in the relationship between bullying and NSSI, with 20.08% mediation.
  • Friendship quality significantly moderates both the bullying-NSSI relationship and the connection between alexithymia and NSSI.
  • These findings highlight important implications for psychological interventions aimed at reducing NSSI in adolescents.
