Abstract: (23 Views)
The present study aimed to examine the relationship between parenting styles and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescents, with identity styles as a mediating factor. This descriptive-correlational research employed a path analysis design. The statistical population included male and female high school students (grades 10 to 12), aged 14 to 19, in Birjand in the year 2024. A total of 397 students were selected through multistage cluster sampling. The instruments used in this study included the Parenting Styles Questionnaire (PSQ; Baumrind, 1991), the Identity Style Inventory (ISI; Berzonsky, 1989), and the Inventory of Statements About Self-Injury (ISAS; Klonsky & Glenn, 2009). Data were analyzed using path analysis. The results indicated a good model fit. Findings showed that different parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive) could predict adolescent NSSI both directly and indirectly through identity styles (informational, normative, and diffuse-avoidant) (p < .001). Identity styles also had a significant independent relationship with NSSI. Therefore, parenting style plays an important role in explaining adolescent NSSI, with identity style acting as a mediating factor.
