The mediating roles of anxiety, loneliness, stress, and depression in the relationship between cyberbullying and non-suicidal self-injury: propensity score matching and causal mediation analysis

This study explores the relationship between cyberbullying, mental health issues (depression, anxiety, stress, loneliness), and NSSI. Findings show cyberbullying directly and indirectly increases NSSI risk, with loneliness as a key mediator. Despite insights, the study has limitations, suggesting a need for more rigorous designs and comprehensive data.
