The Impact of Different Emotional States and Experiential Avoidance Categories on Non-suicidal Self-injury among College Students: A Latent Profile Analysis
Abstract:
Objective: To reveal the triggering mechanisms of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior among college students based on different latent categories of emotional states and experiential avoidance. Methods: This study measured 3,812 college students and employed latent profile analysis to identify latent categories of emotional risk factors, exploring how these factors, in combination with experiential avoidance, impact NSSI. Results: (1) Three latent profiles of emotional risk factors were identified: “Low-Risk Emotional Group” (65%), “High-Risk Emotional Inhibition Group” (30%), and “High-Risk Emotional Group” (5%). (2) Three combination patterns of emotional risk factors and experiential avoidance were identified: “Low-Risk and Low-Avoidance Group” (64%), “Medium-Risk and Medium-Avoidance Group” (31%), and “High-Risk and High-Avoidance Group” (5%). (3) Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that higher levels of emotional risk factors and experiential avoidance corresponded to an increased risk of NSSI. Conclusion: This study clarified the impact of different combinations of risk factors on NSSI, providing empirical support for future intervention research.
目的:揭示不同情绪情感和经验回避的潜在类别对大学生非自杀性自伤行为的促发机制。方法:对3812名大学生进行测量,运用潜在剖面分析方法识别情绪情感风险因素的潜在类别,并探索这些因素与经验回避的组合模式对非自杀性自伤行为的影响。结果:(1)情绪情感风险因素存在三个潜在剖面:“低危情绪风险组”(65%)、“高危情绪失效组”(30%)、“高危情绪风险组”(5%);(2)情绪情感风险因素与经验回避的组合模式可分为三类:“低风险-低回避组”(64%)、“中风险-中回避组”(31%)、“高风险-高回避组”(5%);(3)经多元线性回归分析发现,情绪情感风险和经验回避水平越高,非自杀性自伤的风险相应越大。结论:本研究明确了不同风险因素组合对非自杀性自伤行为的影响,为后续干预研究提供了实证支持。
