| Summary: | 碩士 === 臺北市立教育大學 === 心理與諮商學系碩士班 === 98 === The purpose of this study is to explore the correlation between non-suicidal self-injury behavior, family boundary, and the parent-child triangulation among high school students. To achieve this goal, a survey was conducted based on a stratified random sample of 716 students from five high schools and three vocational high schools in Taipei. Assessment tools include “Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory (DSHI)”, “Family Boundary Scale”, and “Parent-Child Triangulation Scale”. Data collected from the survey were then analyzed respectively using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, t-Test, point-biserial correlation, ANCOVA, and logistic regression. The major findings of this study are as follows:
1. 33.36% of the students have attempted non-suicidal self-injury behavior once or more times within the past year.
2. Gender difference does not have a clear influence on the likelihood of self-injury. Methods of self-injury, however, do differ by gender.
3. In the part of “family boundaries”, males are found to perceive a higher level of “father-child intimate boundaries” and “mother -child peaceful boundaries”. Females on the other hand, perceive a higher level of “mother -child intimate boundaries”.
4. In the part of “parent-child triangulation”, males are found to be more of “detouring-supportive” and have a higher level of “parentification” than females.
5. Between self-injury and non self-injury participants, there exists a significant difference in boundaries of “father-child intimate boundaries”, father-child intrusive boundaries”, “father-child peaceful boundaries”, “mother -child intrusive boundaries”, and “mother -child peaceful boundaries”, as well as in the level of “detouring-attacking”.
6. Whether or not a participant has self-injury behaviours is negatively correlated with the boundary of “father-child intimate boundaries” and positively correlated with boundaries of “father-child intrusive boundaries”, father-child peaceful boundaries”, “mother -child intrusive boundaries”, “mother -child peaceful boundaries”, and finally, the level of “detouring-attacking”.
7. The boundaries of “father-child peaceful boundaries”, “mother -child intrusive boundaries”, and the level of “detouring-attacking” and “detouring-supportive” are capable of predicting whether or not all students at high school level would commit self-injury.
8. “Father-child peaceful boundaries boundary”, “unstable coercive coalition”, “detouring-attacking”, and “detouring-supportive” are capable of predicting whether or not male students would commit self-injury.
9. “Mother -child peaceful boundaries” and “detouring-attacking” are capable of predicting whether or not female students would commit self-injury.
At the end, according to results of the study, specific suggestions are provided to parents, counselors, and future researchers, respectively.
