N2  - OBJECTIVE: Due to the lack of validated assessment tools for motives of nonsuicidal self-injury behaviors in the Chinese contexts, this study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Functional Assessment of Self-Mutilation (C-FASM). METHODS: 345 secondary school students (mean age = 11.41 years), who reported nonsuicidal self-injury in the past year, voluntarily participated in the questionnaire survey. RESULTS: Confirmatory factor analysis results supported a second-order model of four motivational factors. The overall scale scores had significant correlations with depression, anxiety, impulsiveness, self-esteem, social support, and suicidal ideation. The internal consistency of the scale was also satisfactory. CONCLUSION: The C-FASM is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing nonsuicidal self-injury among nonclinical Chinese adolescents.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
