研究人员报道了男性和女性非自杀性自伤（NSSI）的患病率相似，但很少有研究调查了自伤的性别差异。本研究描述并比较了非临床样本中按性别划分的自伤基本特征。48名报告有自伤史的个体接受了访谈（M = 18.52岁，SD = 1.18岁）。比较男性（n = 19）和女性（n = 29）的自伤特征，包括发生频率、年龄、自伤方式、自伤时的疼痛和控制以及医学损伤程度。男性和女性在发病年龄、医疗损伤程度和自伤方式上存在显著差异。该研究支持了先前关于自伤中性别差异的发现，并表明有必要进一步研究自伤中的性别差异。
Researchers have reported similar prevalence rates for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among men and women, yet few studies have investigated gender differences in NSSI. This study describes and compares basic NSSI characteristics among a nonclinical sample by gender. Forty-eight individuals reporting a history of NSSI were interviewed (M = 18.52 years old, SD = 1.18 years). NSSI characteristics, including frequency, age of onset, method of NSSI, pain and control during NSSI, and degree of medical injury were compared between men (n = 19) and women (n = 29). Men and women differed significantly on age of onset, degree of medical injury, and NSSI methods. This study supports previous findings of gender differences in NSSI and suggests that further investigation of gender differences in NSSI is warranted.
