Effects of Cyberbullying Victimization on Non-Suicidal Self-Injury in Adolescents with Depressive Disorders: A Chain Mediation Model of Alexithymia and Anxiety
= 0.023). These findings revealed that CBV may exacerbate NSSI among adolescents with depressive disorders, with anxiety functioning as an independent mediator. Alexithymia may intensify anxiety symptoms, which further contribute to NSSI. Anti-bullying education and interventions targeting alexithymia and anxiety should be implemented to reduce the risk of NSSI in this population.
