Popis: | This cross-sectional study examines the effects of social capital on non-suicidal self-injury and self-injurious behaviors among 632 Greek college students during the current economic crisis. This is a quantitative study which uses a set of normed instruments to measure non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal behaviors. After controlling for a set of demographic variables, and negative affective states, social capital was not found to have an effect on non-suicidal self-injury or suicidal behaviors ( p > .05). Results suggest that negative affective states such as depression and stress are important factors in the likelihood that students will engage in non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal behaviors. Implications for social work practice and education are discussed. |
