摘要

The theories and the literature on personality organization (Gagnon et al., 2016; Kernberg, 1996), sensory processing sensitivity (Aron & Aron, 1997b; Hooker, 2019), and ego capabilities (Gibbons, 2021; Gvion & Fachler, 2015) are supposed to play potential roles in the emergence of self-destructive behaviors. Nonetheless, there is insufficient evidence concerning the concurrent influence of these constructs on self-destructive behaviors, particularly in terms of the role of ego strength as a moderating factor. This study investigated the associations between the severity of personality organization and sensory processing sensitivity in relation to self-destructive behaviors, while considering the moderating influence of ego strength. The clinical sample included 342 participants (248 females and 94 males) chosen using purposive sampling in a cross-sectional study that utilized structural equation modeling (SEM) from Eghlid City in Fars Province, Iran. The data was gathered using the measurement of the severity of personality organization, the sensitivity of sensory processing, ego strength, and self-destructive behaviors. The findings revealed significant associations between the severity of personality organization, sensory processing sensitivity, ego strength and self-destructive behaviors. Personality organization, sensory processing sensitivity, and ego strength collectively explained 80.5% of the variance in self-destructive behavior. The results showed direct and indirect influences of the severity of personality organization and sensory processing sensitivity on self-destructive behaviors, with ego strength serving as a moderating factor. These findings have implications for incorporating the pathology of personality organization, sensory processing sensitivity and ego strength into the conceptual understandings of self-destructive behaviors in clinical interventions and educational programs in adults.
