The Relationship Between Harsh Parenting,Peer Victimization and Non-suicidal Self-injury of Left-behind Children:A Cross-lagged Study
Objective:To investigate the reciprocal predictive effect of harsh parenting,peer victimization and non-sui-cidal self-injury(NSSI)among left-behind children.Methods:A total of 540 left-behind children were followed three times in one year using the peer victimization scale,the harsh parenting scale and the non-suicidal self-injury question-naire.Results:(1)Correlation analysis showed that the simultaneous and successive correlation between the harsh parent-ing,peer victimization and NSSI of left-behind children were significant;(2)Cross lagged analysis showed that harsh parent-ing in T1 predicted left-behind children's NSSI in T2,but the delayed predictive effect of their NSSI on harsh parenting was not significant.Furthermore,there was a significant reciprocal predictive effect between peer victimization and NSSI.Conclusion:There is a short-term one-way effect between harsh parenting and NSSI among left-behind children,while a long-term two-way effect between their peer victimization and NSSI.
