探討情緒失調在心理創傷經驗與自傷行為的中介效果

Examining the Mediating Effects of Emotion Dysregulation on the Relationship between Psychological Maltreatment and Non-Suicidal Self-Injury

本研究旨在檢視情緒失調對心理創傷經驗與大學生自傷行為的中介作用。研究對象為北部某私立大學大一新生，採網路問卷調查法共回收245份有效樣本（平均年齡19歲）。研究工具包含自我傷害量表、中文版兒時創傷量表－簡短版、情緒調節困難量表。本研究結果如下：（1）心理創傷經驗能顯著預測自傷行為；（2）情緒失調能顯著預測自傷行為；（3）心理創傷經驗能顯著預測情緒失調；（4）情緒失調能部分中介心理創傷經驗對自傷行為之預測關係。綜合上述研究結果顯示，心理創傷經驗與情緒失調皆是大學生自傷行為的重要成因，而若能把焦點著重於情緒失調的處遇，可能會對降低大學生的自傷行為有幫助。最後，本研究提出相關建議以供實務工作者與未來研究參考。

 

The present study aims to examine the mediating effects of emotion dysregulation in the relationship between psychological maltreatment and non-suicidal self-injury among college students. The participants were 245 freshmen (mean age = 19 years) in a private university in northern Taiwan, and the data was collected by an online questionnaire survey. Questionnaires included Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory, Chinese version of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form, and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale. The results of the present study were as follows: (1) Psychological maltreatment could significantly and positively predict NSSI. (2) Emotional dysregulation could significantly and positively predict NSSI. (3) Psychological maltreatment could significantly and positively predict emotional dysregulation. (4) Emotional dysregulation could partially mediate the relationship between psychological maltreatment and NSSI. The results showed that psychological maltreatment and emotion dysregulation are important factors that may contribute to NSSI among college students. The results indicated that interventions focusing on emotion dysregulation might be helpful for reducing NSSI among college students. Based on the results, the present study offered suggestions for clinical practice and future research.
