Detailed description

The incidence of non-suicidal self-injury（NSSI） among adolescents has obviously increased, which should attract the attention of the whole society. Their mental health problems will not only lead to personal pain and family burden, but also bring potential negative effects to future social development. Therefore, it is necessary to study the psychological problems of teenagers and their influencing factors. This study will conduct a case-control study from the perspective of family, and analyze the negative emotional expression and family communication style of parents of non-suicidal teenagers and their influence on non-suicidal self-injury behavior. This study is conducted in the form of scale, which will use the demographic information，the Family Emotional Expressivity Questionnaire（FEEQ）、the Parent-Adolescent Communication Scale（PACS）、the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire（CTQ）、the Parental Bongding Instrument（PBI）、the Adolescent parent-child relationship intimacy questionnaire and the Ottawa Self-injury Inventory（OSI）.
