Abstract
The underlying mechanism between anxiety and NSSI behaviors remains unclear. Interoceptive awareness has been suggested as a strong transdiagnostic risk factors for emotional disorders. Following the body-mind approach, we thus aimed to examine the potential indirect effect of three important dimensions of interoceptive awareness. The effect of study variables on the lifetime NSSI behaviors was first tested on 5281 Chinese participants, then the indirect effects were further clarified among individual with NSSI behaviors. We found that Emotional awareness and Body listening plays an indirect effect between anxiety symptoms and NSSI frequent, but in a opposite way. Future preventive intervention program in strength individual’s abilities of connection body and emotion has been strongly highlighted.
