本研究旨在探讨非临床型青壮年(N=365；女性占63%；男性=23+/-4.06)故意自残(DSH)行为的发生率及其心理和病理相关性。参与者完成了刻意的自我伤害问卷和其他自我报告问卷，评估了他们人格的临床维度(边缘人格、分离和去人格化特征)和非临床维度(身体感知、行为抑制和激活、认知情绪调节和五大特质)。目前样本中DSH的发生率为39%，与其他国家以前对年轻人进行的研究中发现的结果相当。此外，与过去的研究一致，DSH被发现与人格病理的临床维度有关，包括边缘人格和分离症状。最后，结果显示DSH与人格的非临床维度有关，包括寻求乐趣的行为激活维度、更消极的身体知觉和更低的身体保护、使用更多的非适应性认知策略来调节情绪、更高的体验开放性和更低的情绪稳定性水平。这一结果模式与其他冲动行为和冲动控制障碍的研究结果一致。
This study aims to explore rates of deliberate self-harm (DSH) behaviors and their psychological and psychopathological correlates within a sample of nonclinical young adults (N = 365; 63% women; M age = 23 +/- 4.06). Participants completed the Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory and other self-report questionnaires assessing clinical (borderline personality, dissociative, and depersonalization traits) and nonclinical (body perception, behavioral inhibition and activation, cognitive emotional regulation, and the Big Five traits) dimensions of their personality. The rate of DSH in the present sample was 39%, comparable to that found in previous studies of young adults in other countries. Further, consistent with past research, DSH was found to be associated with clinical dimensions of personality pathology, including borderline personality and dissociative symptoms. Finally, results revealed an association between DSH and nonclinical dimensions of personality, including the behavioral activation dimension of fun-seeking, more negative body perception and lower body protection, the use of more nonadaptive cognitive strategies for regulating emotions, higher levels of openness to experience, and lower levels of emotional stability. This pattern of results is consistent with those found for other impulsive behaviors and impulse control disorders.
