The Effect of Father Love Absence on Non-Suicidal Self-Injury in Adolescents: Longitudinal Mediation of Self-Control and Smartphone Addiction

doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2025.03.011

Abstract

Abstract:

To explore the longitudinal mediating role of self-control and smartphone addiction between father love absence and non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI), a total of 1252 students from a middle school in Hunan province, China, were selected for a 2-way longitudinal follow-up over a six-month period. The results showed that father love absence was a significant predictor of self-control and smartphone addiction; self-control was also a good predictor of smartphone addiction and NSSI. The results also supported the longitudinal mediating effect of self-control and the chain mediator “self-control→smartphone addiction” between father love absence and NSSI. These results not only expand the research on the effects of father love absence, but also increase the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of the relationship between father love absence and NSSI, thus providing more theoretical support for the prevention and reduction of adolescents’ NSSI behaviors and the reduction of the risk of suicide.

Key words: father-love absence, non-suicidal self-injury, self-control, smartphone addiction, half-longitudinal mediation

摘要：

为了探讨自我控制和手机成瘾在父爱缺失和非自杀性自伤(NSSI)之间的纵向中介作用，选取中国湖南省某中学共1252名学生，开展为期半年的2次纵向追踪。结果表明：父爱缺失对自我控制和手机成瘾的预测作用显著；自我控制对手机成瘾、NSSI也有较好的预测作用。同时结果支持了自我控制以及“自我控制→手机成瘾”这条链式中介在父爱缺失和NSSI之间的纵向中介效应。这些结果不仅拓展了对父爱缺失影响的研究，还增加了对父爱缺失和NSSI之间关系的潜在机制的理解，从而为预防和减少青少年NSSI行为，降低自杀风险提供了更多理论支持。
