关于非自杀性自伤（NSSI）患病率的流行病学研究发现，在性别差异方面的结果不一致，一些研究显示女性的患病率高于男性，而另一些研究显示没有差异。本研究的目的是使用荟萃分析技术，以更好地概念化的存在和大小的性别差异的患病率NSSI。我们还研究了两个因素，提出解释性别差异的NSSI患病率：性别差异将是较大的临床样本相对于社区样本，和性别差异将是较大的年轻（与老年）样本。结果显示，在所有研究中，女性比男性更有可能报告NSSI病史。主持人分析表明，性别差异较大的临床样本相比，大学/社区样本。然而，年龄和效应量之间没有显著关系。女性更有可能使用NSSI的某些方法（例如，切割）与男性相比，但对于其他方法没有显著差异（例如，冲孔）。这些结果增加了我们对NSSI的了解，并与性别，情绪调节和精神病理学的更大文献相吻合。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Epidemiological research on the prevalence of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) has found inconsistent results in terms of gender differences, with some studies showing a higher prevalence for women compared to men and other studies showing no difference. The goal of the current study was to use meta-analytic techniques to better conceptualize the presence and size of gender differences in the prevalence of NSSI. We also examined two factors proposed to explain gender differences in NSSI prevalence: the gender difference would be larger for clinical samples relative to community samples, and the gender difference would be larger for younger (versus older) samples. The results showed that across studies women were significantly more likely to report a history of NSSI than men. Moderator analyses showed that the gender difference was larger for clinical samples, compared to college/community samples. However, there was not a significant relation between age and effect size. Women were more likely to use some methods of NSSI (e.g., cutting) compared to men, but for other methods there was no significant difference (e.g., punching). These results increase our knowledge of NSSI and fit with a larger literature examining gender, emotion regulation, and psychopathology. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
