摘要

With the advent of the Internet era, mobile communication devices are developing rapidly. A growing number of researchers are focusing on the negative effects of parental phubbing. Nevertheless, up to date, our comprehension of whether parental phubbing is likely to escalate adolescents’ non-suicidal self-injury, and the factors that may impact this connection remains limited. Hence, this study wanted to investigate the link between parental phubbing and adolescents’ non-suicidal self-injury, and the mechanisms of self-control and perceived school climate. With a sample size of 704 Chinese adolescents that participated in the study (Mage = 15.15, SD =13.52). Participants anonymously completed scales about parental phubbing, non-suicidal self-injury, self-control, and perceived school climate. The findings revealed that parental phubbing was positively associated with adolescents’ non-suicidal self-injury. Moreover, self-control moderated this relationship (b = -0.63, p < 0.001, f² = 0.022). Specifically, for adolescents with low self-control, parental phubbing was positively associated with non-suicidal self-injury, whereas for adolescents with high self-control, this relationship was nonsignificant. Perceived school climate also moderated this relationship (b= -1.32, p < 0.001, f² = 0.033). For adolescents with low perceived school climate, parental phubbing was positively associated with non-suicidal self-injury, but for those with high perceived school climate, the relationship was nonsignificant. These results highlight the need for interventions that strengthen self-regulation skills and foster supportive school environments. Importantly, the study provides theoretical insight into the mechanisms linking parental behaviors to adolescent self-harm and offers practical guidance for parents and educators aiming to prevent or reduce NSSI.
