TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - The impact of self-consistency congruence on non-suicidal self-injury in college students: the mediating role of negative emotion and the moderating role of gender JO - International journal of environmental research and public health A1 - Li, Yang A1 - He, Keke A1 - Xue, Changfeng A1 - Li, Chun A1 - Gu, Chuanhua SP - e11898 EP - e11898 VL - 19 IS - 19 N2 - Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) can be defined as the deliberate destruction of body tissues to generate harm. College students have a higher incidence of NSSI. With the deepening of research on college students' NSSI, the connection between their self-consistency congruence and NSSI has drawn the attention of many scholars. The current study examined the association between self-concordance and NSSI, the mediating function of negative emotions, and the moderating role of gender. We surveyed 1020 college students from three universities in Jiangxi Province using a self-concordant scale, a NSSI questionnaire, and a negative emotion questionnaire. The results showed that self-concordance was negatively correlated with NSSI. There is an obvious negative connection between self-consistency congruence and negative emotions. There was a significant positive correlation between negative emotions and the NSSI scores. Negative emotions could mediate the association between self-consistency congruence and NSSI. Compared to males, females' self-concordant effects on negative emotions are easier to moderate.
