Data for teenagers' stressor, mental health, coping style, social support, parenting style and self-efficacy in South China.

ABSTRACT: Data provided in this article were collected from 3784 high school students in South China, which measured teenagers' stressor (Stressors Scale for Middle School Students, SSMSS), mental health (Symptom Check-List 90, SCL90), coping style (Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, SCSQ), social support (Social Support Scale, SSS), parenting style (Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppforstran-own memories of parental rearing practice in childhood, EMBU) and self-efficacy (General Self-Efficacy Scale, GSES). All the instruments for data collection were in the Chinese version. Participants were 3784 students recruited from 15 high schools in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province of South China with random cluster sampling method. Among them, there were 1987 boys and 1797 girls, with an average age of 14.6 and a standard deviation of 1.82. In addition, a.csv file consists of all the variables and questionnaires we used (both in Chinese and in English) are included as a supplementary material. For a discussion of the major finding based on the data please see the article which used a part of questionnaires and participants we supplied in the data set: The relationship between high school students' social support and coping styles: The mediating role of self-efficacy (https://doi.org/10.3969/j.issn.1007-3728.2014.10.016) [1].

Project description:BackgroundNonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors-an important factor that profoundly affects the physical and mental health of young people-are induced by complex and diverse factors, while showing significant differences at the gender level. We examined mediating behaviors among parenting styles, students' coping styles, and endogenous and exogenous influencing variables of adolescents' NSSI behaviors.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, Secondary school students in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China (n = 2,689; F/M:1532/1157) were surveyed for basic attributes, parenting styles, coping styles, and NSSI behaviors. After the initial screening of the sample data, several external derivatives were screened based on the single factor analysis method. On this basis, the construction of path analysis models under multivariate multiple elicitations was carried out.ResultsThe overall prevalence of NSSI was 15.16%, and the incidence of NSSI in boys was lower than that in girls (OR = 0.334, 95% CI [0.235-0.474]). The path analysis model data fit well; the indicators of female and male part are: CFI = 0.913/0.923, GFI = 0.964/0.977, SRMR = 0.055/0.047, RMSEA = 0.097/0.069 with 90% confidence interval (CI) [0.084-0.111]/[0.054-0.084]. For female, when negative coping style and extreme education affect NSSI respectively, the standardized path coefficient values are 0.478 (z = 20.636, P = 0.000 < 0.01) and 0.151 (z = 6.524, P = 0.000 < 0.01) respectively, while for male, the corresponding values become 0.225 (z = 7.057, P < 0.001) and 0.104 (z = 3.262, P < 0.001).ConclusionIn particular, we investigated the mediating effects of gender-specific NSSI influences and found that NSSI behaviors were strongly associated with environmental variables and individual factors, especially family parenting style and adolescent coping style, which influenced NSSI in a gender-specific manner. The results showed that males were the target of both positive and negative parenting styles, whereas females were more likely to choose negative coping styles directed towards emotions in response to external stimuli, and instead showed a more significant predisposition towards NSSI behaviors. This phenomenon seems to be influenced by multilevel factors such as sociocultural, individual value identity, and physiological structure differences. In the path analysis model with the introduction of mediating effects, the influence of gender differences on NSSI behavior becomes more pronounced under the interaction of multiple factors: women seem to be more significantly influenced by the external derivatives in the internal derivatives than male subjects, and are more likely to trigger NSSI behavior under the interaction of multiple factors. These findings effectively reveal the significant role of different end-influencing factors in NSSI behaviors at the level of gender differences, which can provide effective theoretical support to prevent and treat NSSI behaviors in adolescents.
