摘要

Objectives

Prior research has shown a close association between the tolerance of mental pain (TMP) and adolescent non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), as well as the protective effect of dispositional mindfulness on NSSI. However, how these factors interact longitudinally remains unclear.

Method

This study assessed 1579 Chinese adolescents (56.6% females; mean age = 13.31 ± 1.41) at three time points using the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), the Tolerance of Mental Pain Scale (TMPS-10), and the Ottawa Self-Injury Inventory (OSI) to measure their levels of dispositional mindfulness, tolerance of mental pain, and the frequency of NSSI thoughts and behaviors over the past month. A cross-lagged panel network (CLPN) analysis was then conducted to explore the longitudinal interactive dynamics between these variables.

Results

The study revealed that mindful describing and acting with awareness were consistently and positively associated with managing the pain over time. Managing the pain emerged as a pivotal bridge between dispositional mindfulness and NSSI, showing negative prospective associations with NSSI thoughts and behaviors.

Conclusions

The findings provide concrete targets for developing describing and acting with awareness skills in mindfulness-based intervention for NSSI, and emphasize the importance of the cultivation of mental pain management skills.
