Abstract
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) has become very prominent among adolescents in middle and high school settings. However, little research has evaluated the role of the school environment in the behaviour. This study examined whether indices of school trust and perceived safety were predictive of NSSI behaviour. Results indicate that these variables allow us to more accurately identify participants who engage in NSSI. Students who report being bullied and threatened, and who have less trust in specific members of school staff are more likely to engage in NSSI.
Résumé
L’automutilation non-suicidaire (AMNS) est devenue un comportement très important parmi les adolescents en milieu scolaire. Cependant, peu de recherches ont évalué le rôle de l’environnement scolaire dans le comportement. Cette étude examine si les indices de confiance et de la perception de sécurité à l’école sont des facteurs prédictifs de l’AMNS. Les résultats indiquent que ces variables nous permettent d’identifier plus précisément les participants qui endossent l’AMNS. Les étudiants qui déclarent être victimes d’intimidation et de menace, et qui ont moins confiance en certains membres du personnel scolaire sont plus susceptibles de dire qu’ils s’engagent dans l’AMNS.
