Mediating Effects of Sleep Problems and Emotional Symptoms in the Relationship Between Chronotype and Self-Harm Among Adolescents Aged 11–19 Years
Chronotype is a significant predictor of self-harm, with a later chronotype associated with a higher risk. Both sleep problems and emotional symptoms independently and serially mediate the relationship between chronotype and self-harm. These findings highlight the complex pathways through which chronotype influences self-harm behavior and suggest potential targets for intervention.
