Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and bullying victimization are well-established risk factors for deliberate self-harm (DSH) and suicidal ideation (SI). Research ties aspects of self-concept, such as self-esteem, with victimization and self-harm. Yet, there is limited evidence of the role of multidimensional self-concept in the victimization-self-harm association. Using a longitudinal sample of 422 adolescent girls from a large midwestern city, 35% with recently substantiated CSA-exposure and 51% with recent bullying victimization at baseline, we examined pathways from CSA-exposure and bullying victimization to subsequent DSH and SI, with global self-worth and five subscales of self-concept as mediators (social competence, close friendships, physical appearance, scholastic competence, and behavioral conduct). Data was collected from 2012 to 2015. CSA-exposure directly increased the risk of both SI (B .50, SE .23, p < .05) and DSH (B .53, SE .22, p < 5), while global self-worth fully mediated the relationship between bullying victimization, SI (B .21, SE .07, 95% BCB-CI 1.17–1.95, p < .01), and DSH (B .15, SE .06, 95% BCB-CI 1.10–1.69, p < .05), We found no evidence of mediation for the subscales model. Both CSA-exposure and bullying victimization directly reduced specific subscales of self-concept, while behavioral conduct increased the risk of DSH. The role of self-concept in the bullying/self-harm association and the direct effects of CSA-exposure on self-harm highlight areas of need in social work practice, specifically the need to incorporate an emphasis on trusting relationships, overall well-being, and the reduction of shame into trauma-informed therapy and bullying prevention efforts.

多维自我概念是否介导青春期女孩童年性虐待和欺凌受害与故意自残和自杀意念的关系?
童年性虐待(CSA)和欺凌受害是故意自残(DSH)和自杀意念(SI)的明确风险因素。研究将自我概念的各个方面(例如自尊)与受害和自残联系起来。然而,多维自我概念在受害-自残关联中的作用的证据有限。我们对来自中西部大城市的 422 名青春期女孩进行了纵向样本分析,其中 35% 的女孩最近经历过 CSA 暴露,51% 的女孩最近在基线上遭受过欺凌,我们研究了从 CSA 暴露和欺凌受害到随后的 DSH 和 SI 的路径,自我价值和自我概念的五个子量表作为中介(社交能力、亲密友谊、外表、学业能力和行为行为)。数据收集于 2012 年至 2015 年。CSA 暴露直接增加 SI ( B .50, SE .23, p < .05) 和 DSH ( B .53, SE .22, p < 5)的风险,而全球范围内自我价值完全调节欺凌受害、SI ( B .21, SE .07, 95% BCB-CI 1.17–1.95, p < .01) 和 DSH ( B .15, SE .06, 95% BCB)之间的关系-CI 1.10–1.69,p < .05),我们没有发现子量表模型中介的证据。 CSA暴露和欺凌受害都直接降低了自我概念的特定分量表,而行为行为则增加了DSH的风险。自我概念在欺凌/自残关联中的作用以及 CSA 暴露对自残的直接影响突出了社会工作实践中的需要领域,特别是需要强调信任关系、整体福祉,并将羞耻感减少到创伤知情治疗和欺凌预防工作中。
