Personality characteristic of adolescent self-harmers
Original language description
The study, a part of a large-scale project "Validation of tools for screening of self-harm in early adolescents", explored the associations between the occurrence of self-harm and adolescent personality. Out of the large sample of 1,026 respondents, 43.2% (n = 443) reported at least one experience with self-harm. The prevalence was somewhat larger in girls (n = 139, 31.4%) than boys (n = 102, 23.0%). The average age at the first experience with self-harm was 12.6 years. The questionnaire, administered in a single session, contained the Self-Harm Behavior Questionnaire (Gutierrez, 1998), the Self- Harm Inventory (Sansone, Sansone & Wiederman, 1995), and a Czech adaptation of Eysenck's personality inventory for children B-JEPI (Senka, 1994). The results suggested intriguing gender differences in the associations between self-harm and teenagers' personalities. Girls scored significantly higher on neuroticism than boys in all self-harm frequency groups.
