Previous research documented a strong relationship between nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and negative affect as well as rumination. Recent studies have also shown that specific negative affect such as anger and anger rumination play distinctive roles in the development and maintenance of NSSI. The present study examined the roles of trait anger, anger rumination and self-punishment tendency in the development of NSSI among Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong using a 6-month follow-up design. In the first wave of assessment, 4,778 Chinese secondary school students aged 10 to 19 completed measures assessing NSSI, trait anger, anger rumination, self-punishment tendency and other relevant variables. The second wave of assessment was conducted six months later and 3,918 of the Wave 1 participants completed the same measures. Results showed that trait anger and anger rumination reliably predicted the severity of NSSI both concurrently and longitudinally, even after controlling for overall negative emotion and borderline personality symptoms. Significant interaction effects between trait anger and anger rumination were also found. Structural equation modeling results revealed that self-punishment tendency partially mediated the relation between anger dysregulation and NSSI. The mediating role of self-punishment was identified in both the concurrent and the longitudinal mediation model. Conceptual and clinical implications of these findings were discussed. / 過往文獻記錄了非自殺性自傷行為（以下簡稱自傷行為）與負面情緒以及反芻思維的密切聯繫。最近的研究也揭示了特定的負面情緒如憤怒，以及憤怒導向的反芻思維在自傷行為的發展和維持中起到獨特的作用。本論文用一項六個月的追蹤研究考察了憤怒特質、憤怒反芻思維和自我懲罰傾向對中國青少年自傷行為的影響。在第一期測評中，4,778名香港中學生（10到19歲）完成了關於自傷行為、憤怒特質、憤怒反芻思維、自我懲罰以及其他與自傷相關因素的自我報告問卷。第二期測評于六個月后進行，3,918名參與過第一期測評的學生完成了相同的問卷施測。數據分析結果表明憤怒特質與憤怒反芻思維顯著地預測了同期和未來的自傷行為嚴重程度，並且二者的預測效力在控制了被試的總體負面情緒與邊緣型人格症狀后仍然顯著。同時，本研究也證實了憤怒特質與憤怒思維在預測自傷行為時的顯著交互作用。結構方程模型結果顯示，自我懲罰傾向在憤怒失調與自傷行為的關係中起到了部分中介的作用，並且這一中介作用在橫向研究和縱向研究兩個模型中都得到了證實。這些發現對於增強我們對青少年自傷行為的理解、推動進一步針對自傷行為中情緒和思維的研究以及促進臨床診斷及治療都具有重要啟示。 / Zhou, Xiaoyi. / Thesis M.Phil.
