Introduction: Self-injurious function is one of the serious issues in adolescence, considering the importance of this issue, this study was conducted with the aim of predicting self-injurious function based on mentalization with the mediating role of interpersonal sensitivity in adolescents in Tehran.
Methods: The present study was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of this research included all students of the second secondary level in Tehran in the second semester of the academic year 2023. 408 people from 8 schools participated in this study by cluster random sampling method. Data collection instruments were demographic questionnaire, the “Inventory of Statements About Self- Injury”, “Metallization Scale” and “Interpersonal Sensitivity Measure”. Content validity of instruments was measured by qualitative method and reliability by internal consistency method by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The data were analyzed in SPSS. 22 and Amos. 22.
Results: The proposed model had good fit (CMIN/DF=2.86, CFI=0.96, RMSEA=0.05). In addition, mentalization had a negative and significant correlation with self-injurious function (β=-0.36). On the other hand, interpersonal sensitivity and self-injurious function had a positive and significant correlation (β=0.38). Also, metallization had a negative and significant correlation with interpersonal sensitivity (β = -0.34) (P<0.05). The results of the bootstrap test showed that interpersonal sensitivity (β=0.13) had a significant mediating role between mentalization and self-injurious function (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Mentalizing negatively and directly and with the mediation of interpersonal sensitivity had a significant correlation with self-injurious function of adolescents. Therefore, it is suggested to hold training courses in order to improve mentalization and interpersonal sensitivity for students with self-injurious function.
