Impact of parental marital status on self-harm in Chinese primary school students: the mediating role of depression and the moderating effect of classmate relationships
The marital status of parents, especially in cases of separation, has a significant impact on self-harm behaviors among primary school students, with depression acting as a key mediating factor. Supportive classmate relationships can alleviate this effect, highlighting their importance in mental health interventions. These findings offer valuable insights for the development of policies aimed at reducing self-harm and enhancing psychological well-being among children.
