“…A study of community sample reveals that smartphone addiction could positively predict NSSI, particularly in pre-adolescence as compared to adolescents, which was related to low self-control and emotion dysregulation [ 49 ]. However, differently, contrary to this study, was that there was no sex difference between smartphone use and self-injury [ 49 , 50 ]. The results of this study further expand the current understanding of the relationship between PMPU and NSSI among adolescents and highlight the need to focus on females.…”

Background Non-suicidal self-injury behavior (NSSI) is a common mental health threat among adolescents. Poor parent-child relationship (PCR) and problematic mobile phone use (PMPU) are risk factors for NSSI. We aimed to explore the impact of PCR quality, PMPU, and their interaction effects on NSSI among adolescents in China, as well as the sex difference. Method A survey was conducted among school students in 4 provinces in China between 2017 and 2018. The study included 14,500 valid participants. The students’ general demographic characteristics was collected, and further data on PCR quality, PMPU, and NSSI were obtained through self-rated questionnaire. Chi-square test, binomial logistic regression models, and the Andersson Excel were used for data analysis. Results The 12-month prevalence of NSSI was 27.3%. Lower PCR quality and PMPU were significantly associated with NSSI, respectively. The low PCR + yes PMPU group had the greatest association with NSSI, followed by the high PCR + yes PMPU group, low PCR + no PMPU group. Moreover, in low father-child relationship + yes PMPU group, females had a higher risk of NSSI than males; in high mother-child relationship + yes PMPU group, females had a higher risk of NSSI than males. Additive interaction analysis indicated that mother-child relationship quality and PMPU were associated with increased risks of NSSI, in the subgroup of males. Conclusions The findings underline the importance of simultaneously studying the quality of PCR and PMPU for a comprehensive understanding of NSSI behavior, and especially highlights the significance of maternal relationship quality.

“…The mean number of NSSI methods used was 2.2 (SD = 1.8). There was no association of NSSI with age or family income, despite previous studies suggesting there are differences in the prevalence of NSSI in terms of age stages and economic levels (Mancinelli et al, 2022;Park et al, 2022). As for suicide risk, 37.5% (n = 109) of the participants reported that they had thought about killing themselves at least once in the past year, 22.0% (n = 64) have talked to others about their suicidal ideation in the past year, and only 26.4% (n = 77) reported that they would never be likely to attempt suicide someday in the future.…”

Young Chinese gay men are at a high risk of suicide and experience severe culture-related sexual minority stigma. Little research has investigated the relation between sexual minority stigma and suicide risk from a traditional Chinese cultural perspective. This study used minority stress theory and psychological mediation framework to investigate a moderated mediation model of sexual minority stigma, nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), suicide risk, and filial piety belief (FPB; including reciprocal and authoritarian). A total of 291 young Chinese gay men (aged 18–30, Mage = 23.7 years, SD = 3.5) participated in this study. A significant positive indirect relation of sexual minority stigma to suicide risk through NSSI was found. Reciprocal FPB moderated the relation of NSSI to suicide risk, but did not moderate the relations of sexual minority stigma with NSSI or suicide risk. Specifically, a higher level of reciprocal FPB buffered the relation of NSSI to suicide risk. Authoritarian FPB did not moderate any relations in the model. These findings suggest interventions focusing on NSSI may reduce the effect of sexual minority stigma on suicide risk. Therapists and educators may consider the beneficial but limited impact of reciprocal FPB on psychological crisis intervention among young Chinese gay men.

“…A few studies have found a correlation between smartphone overuse and self-harm and suicidal ideation [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]; many previous studies have also found related potential risk factors. These include depression, anxiety, impulsiveness, family related issues, sociodemographic status, academic stress, and substance use [ 6 , 8 , 28 ].…”

Objective: This study aimed to explore the associations between smartphone overdependence (smartphone addiction) and suicidal ideation and attempts among Korean adolescents to acknowledge the risk of smartphone overuse. Methods: Data were obtained from the results of the 2020 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey. Smartphone addiction was categorized into three groups: adolescents who scored less than 23 were categorized as the general user group and formed the reference, those with scores of 23–30 were categorized as the potential-risk user group, and those with scores higher than 31 were categorized under the high-risk user group. Suicidal ideation and suicide attempt were identified as dependent variables in the present study. Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between SA and suicidal ideation and suicide attempt status among Korean adolescents. Results: This study included 41,173 general users of smartphones, 12,142 potential-risk users, and 1633 high-risk users from among 54,948 adolescents who were middle- and high-school students. Adolescents with potentially risky smartphone use showed a higher likelihood of suicidal ideation (OR: 1.50, CI: 1.42–1.60). Similarly, adolescents with high-risk smartphone use showed a significant risk of suicidal ideation (OR: 2.49, CI: 2.21–2.81) and suicide attempt (OR: 1.87, CI: 1.48–2.37) compared to the adolescents who were general users. Conclusion: Our study results encourage parents and social workers to acknowledge that adolescents’ smartphone addiction leads to a higher risk to their mental health, wherein they may engage in suicidal ideation and even resort to a suicide attempt.
