Longitudinal analysis finds harsh parenting predicts non-suicidal self-injury in adolescents, highlighting identity confusion's role.
Objective Harsh parenting is a family risk factor that can lead to non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescents. Based on the developmental psychopathology model and the identity disruption model, this study aimed to investigate the mechanism underlying the relationship between harsh parenting and NSSI using a one-year longitudinal design. Specifically, the study focused on the mediating role of identity confusion and the moderating role of intentional self-regulation in this association.
