This research was carried out with the purpose of investigating the mediating role of perceived burdensomeness and suicidal ideation in the relationship between parent-adolescent conflict and non-suicidal self-injury. The research statistical population was 224,400 high school students in Tehran in the year 2018-2019. 420 students were selected via sampling cluster random method and Beck scale for suicidal ideation (Beck, Kovacs and Weissman, 1979), self-harm inventory (Sansone, Wiederman, Sansone and Touchet, 1998), conflict behavior questionnaire (Robin and Foster, 1989) and Interpersonal needs questionnaire (Van Orden, Kukrowicz, & Witte & Joiner, 2012) responded. The results of the path analysis showed that parent-adolescent conflict has a significant indirect effect on non-suicidal self-injury through suicidal ideation and perceived burdensomeness. In addition, parent-adolescent conflict, perceived burdensomeness, and suicidal ideation had the ability to explain 36% of the variance of non-suicidal self-injury. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that reducing the perceived burdensomeness, and suicidal ideation, and resolving parent-adolescent conflicts can have an effective role in reducing non-suicidal self-injury.
