“…It may be that men and women differ in the way that they cause harm to themselves and therefore differences in the behaviours (what types of self-harm) that are studied may affect the reported prevalence of self-harm. Another important factor could be the manner used to identify the prevalence of self-harm -some studies have considered self-harm to be a nominal variable (they investigate the presence/absence of self-harm) [14], while others have specifically focused on gender differences directly within the self-harming population alone [15].…”

The occurrence of self-harming behaviour as a non-adaptive coping strategy within the adolescent population is on the increase. In an effort to clarify the occurrence and characteristics of this high-risk behaviour, many experts have focused on an examination of the various variables related to the prevalence, risk, or protective factors of self-harm. Many studies have focused on gender differences; however, the results have been mixed. The study provides basic data on the incidence of self-harm in a group of male and female (N = 1699) adolescents (11-19 years, AM = 15.24). Through an analysis of the differences in prevalence, intensity, and types of self-harming behaviour, related to gender, it tries to identify the reasons for the different findings in the published literature. The results show that although the prevalence and overall intensity of self-harm is statistically higher in women, this does not apply to the most frequently studied direct physical forms of self-harm. Through its findings, the study draws attention to the need for a clear definition of self-harm as well as to the consequences of different diagnostic approaches.

“…Loneliness is directly associated with unfavorable physical and mental health during adolescence and early adulthood. For example, lonely teenagers are prone to physical conditions (e.g., headaches; [24]), sleep disorders (e.g., insomnia; [25,26]), social dysfunction [27], depression and low self-esteem [28], psychological distress [29], and suicide or self-harm ideation and attempts [23,30]. These conditions reflect the negative effects of loneliness on teenagers' physical and mental health.…”

Background: Teenagers described as enjoying their own company have been claimed to have a weird personality and experience loneliness and negative emotions and have often been labeled with negative attributes. However, previous studies have provided a limited understanding of teenagers’ capacity for solitude. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the correlations between teenagers’ capacity for solitude and both personality traits and physical and mental health. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional research design and collected data from a junior college located in Taiwan using a structured questionnaire, which consisted of demographic questions, a solitude capacity scale, a personality trait scale, and a physical and mental health scale. Results: A total of 562 participants were recruited (age = 17.56 ± 1.58 years). The total score of the solitude capacity scale was significantly correlated with four elements of the personality traits subscale: neuroticism, extraversion, openness, and conscientiousness. The solitude capacity subscale (i.e., the solitude-coping subscale) showed significant correlations with two of the physical and mental health elements, i.e., anxiety and insomnia and severe depression. Conclusions: The results verified the correlations between capacity for solitude and personality traits and did not show a positive association with negative personality traits (i.e., neuroticism). Moreover, the solitude coping capacity correlated positively with anxiety levels and negatively with depression.
