“…Whereas girls rated the reason "to get rid of depression" for self-injuring significantly higher than boys, boys rated the Social Influence reasons including "to get control of the situation", "to change others' behaviors", and "to be like someone I respect" and the Social Avoidance reason "to avoid school, work or other activities" significantly higher than girls. This finding concurs with previous results Compas, Orosan, & Grant, 1993;Langhinrichsen-Rohling et al, 1998;Laye-Gindhu & Schonert-Reichl, 2005;Leadbeater, Blatt, & Quinlan, 1995). In general, boys may be more likely to report externalizing and interpersonal motivations.…”

“…Girls, on the other hand, may be more likely to report internalizing and intrapersonal motivations for self-injury. This gender difference may be related to differential socialization patterns and are supported by the evidence in the literature suggesting that females are more likely to direct their feelings inward whereas males are more likely to turn outward (Crick & Zahn-Waxler, 2003;Langhinrichsen-Rohling et al, 1998;Parker et al, 1998). It is also possible that by performing NSSI to control the situation and to change others' behavior, boys are demonstrating their ability and power, as the gender-role socialization conveys the message that masculinity equals "toughness" and encourages boys to prove their physical prowess.…”

This study examined functions of nonsuicidal self‐injury (NSSI) among a large sample of Chinese high school students over a six‐month period. Among Chinese adolescents, we identified three factors of NSSI functions, namely, Affect Regulation, Social Influence, and Social Avoidance. Affect Regulation was the most frequently endorsed function of NSSI, followed by Social Influence and Social Avoidance. Adolescent male self‐injurers were more likely to endorse the Social Influence function than their female counterparts. Moderate/Severe Self‐injurers did not differ from Minor Self‐injurers on the endorsement of various NSSI functions. All functions of NSSI exhibited small to moderate stability over the six‐month assessment period. Findings suggest that Chinese adolescents engaged in NSSI for multiple reasons. These reasons also varied considerably over time within individuals. Assessment of NSSI should thus regularly assess functions of the behavior.

“…The relationship between alcohol use and suicidal behaviors has been well-documented (Reifman & Windle, 1995;Langhinrichsen-Rohling et al, 1998). Adolescents who engage in substance use have been identified as having higher levels of suicide ideation than those who have not (Cohen, 2000;Juon & Ensminger, 1997;Jones, 1997).…”

Adolescent boys: exploring diverse cultures in boyhood

The "boy" question burst on the scene a couple of years ago. Suddenly, it seemed, America had "discovered" boys.A flurry of best-selling titles urged us to "rescue" and "protect" boys. Psychologists like William Pollack, Dan Kindlon, and Michael Thompson described how boys are failing at school, acting out behaviorally, feeling depressed and suicidal, or shutting down emotionally. Most of the better books by these therapists point their finger at what Pollack labeled the boy code-the cultural myths of masculinity to which boys try so desperately and so poignantly to adhere, despite their small frames and trembling hearts. They advised anguished parents about boys' fragility, their hidden despondence, and depression, and issued stern warnings about the dire consequences if we don't watch our collective cultural step. Other works by political pundits such as Christina Hoff Sommers and by psychologists like Michael Gurian, sought to rescue boys from feminists, who they claimed were problematizing normal, natural, rambunctious boyhood.Boys had been "discovered" all right-both as a psychological problemin-waiting, and as a political football.Lost in much of the ensuing public conversation were the boys themselves-the richness of their experiences, the texture of their lives. This was to be expected of those who were simply using boys as a foil with which to critique feminism. In fact, the pundits appeared relatively uninterested in boys' welfare; they were simply the latest weapon against feminists.Yet some of the richness of boys' experiences and lives seemed lost also in the best-sellers by psychologists who had spent their careers listening to boys' voices. The fact that all of their books portrayed white boys on their covers was more than a marketing ploy by their publishers; their books generalized from predominantly middle-and upper-middle-class white xi xii Foreword Press, Jennifer Hammer, for her support of this book and for her dedication to publishing works that reveal the missing voices in the social sciences. Finally, we thank Emily Park for help in editing and organizing the manuscript.
