Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a self-destructive action concerning direct and deliberate destruction to one’s own body tissue without suicide intent. Previous studies have found that NSSI is commonly widespread among adolescents and strongly linked to bullying victimization. However, fewer studies explain cognitive process behind NSSI behaviours of bullying victims. The objective of this study is to examine the mediating role of self-criticism between self-concept and nonsuicidal self-injury behaviours in bullying victim adolescents. The research design is a descriptive quantitative ex-post facto research in non-experimental form. The participants of this study are adolescents between the age of 12-21 and victims of bullying (n=68). The sampling technique used in this study is convenience non probability sampling. The instrument used in this study are Tennessee Self Concept Scale (TSCS) for measuring self concept; Forms of Self-Criticising/Attacking & Self Reassuring Scale (FSCRS) for measuring self-criticism; and Inventory of Statement About Self Injury (ISAS) for measuring NSSI behaviours. This study uses linear regression analysis. The result shows that self-criticism is a perfect mediator in the association between self-concept and nonsuicidal self-injury in bullying victim adolescents. This study also shows that self-concept negatively correlates with self-criticism and NSSI behaviours. That means, the more positive one’s self-concept, he/she would have lower self-criticism and lower possibility in conducting NSSI behaviours. These results are useful in understanding the thinking process in NSSI actions Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) merupakan tindakan destruktif diri berupa perusakan jaringan tubuh yang langsung, di sengaja dan tanpa intensi bunuh diri. Berbagai penelitian menemukan bahwa perilaku NSSI lebih banyak dilakukan oleh remaja dan dipicu oleh perundungan. Meskipun demikian, belum banyak penelitian yang menjelaskan proses berpikir korban perundungan mengenai dirinya sampai melakukan tindakan NSSI. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peranan kritik diri sebagai moderator pada hubungan antara konsep diri dan perilaku nonsuicidal self-injury pada remaja korban perundungan. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kuantitatif deskriptif ex-post facto dengan bentuk non eksperimental tipe korelasional. Partisipan penelitian adalah remaja korban perundungan berusia 12–21 tahun (n=68). Teknik Pengambilan sampel yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini adalah convenience non probability sampling. Alat ukur dalam penelitian ini adalah Tennessee Self Concept Scale (TSCS) untuk mengukur konsep diri. Alat ukur Forms of Self-Criticising/Attacking & Self Reassuring Scale (FSCRS) untuk mengukur kritik diri. Serta alat ukur Inventory of Statement About Self Injury (ISAS) untuk mengukur perilaku NSSI. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik analisis regresi linier berganda. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kritik diri berperan sebagai mediator sempurna pada hubungan antara konsep diri dan perilaku NSSI remaja korban perundungan. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa konsep diri berkorelasi secara negatif dengan kritik diri dan perilaku NSSI. Artinya, semakin positif konsep diri seseorang maka kritik diri akan menurun dan semakin kecil kemungkinan ia melakukan tindakan NSSI. Hasil penelitian ini sangat penting dalam memahami proses berpikir pelaku NSSI, serta dalam menentukan tindakan preventif yang berfokus pada pengembangan konsep diri dan penurunan kritik diri.

Relationship between self-supporting behaviors and self-concept among primary school students in China

Our aim in this study was to explore the relationship between self-supporting behaviors and self-concept among primary school students in China. Participants were 193 primary school students in grades 5 and 6 who completed the Self-supporting Behaviors Questionnaire for Children Aged 6-12 (SBQ 6-12) and the Tennessee Self-concept Scale (TSCS). We divided the responses into two groups of a high self-supporting group, consisting of the highest 27% of the SBQ 6-12 total scores, and a low self-supporting group consisting of the lowest 27% of the total scores. The high self-supporting group got significantly higher scores than did the low self-supporting group in all subscales of the TSCS. All scores for subscales of the TSCS were significantly and positively correlated with scores for all dimensions of the SBQ 6-12. Thus, the children's self-supporting behaviors were closely related to their self-concept. The higher the level of self-supporting behavior, the more positive was the child's self-concept.

Self-concept and dangerous driving proclivity in male and female Israeli drivers

The aim of this paper was to see whether there is an association between drivers' self-concept, gender, and proclivity for dangerous driving. Participants' self-concept was measured using the brief Hebrew version of the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale (TSCS; Fitts, 1965). Tendency to commit traffic violations and to engage in dangerous driving was assessed using the Dangerous Driving Questionnaire (DDQ; Berger, 1995). The regression analysis showed that out of all TSCS scales only moral self-concept correlated significantly with general dangerous driving. In addition, ANOVA revealed that male drivers and drivers with low self-concept report more dangerous driving than do females and drivers with high self-concept, correspondingly. Results give evidence in favor of a hypothesis that low self-concept is connected to dangerous driving.
