| Summary: |
In 2018, 62,000 teenagers died as a result of self-
harm, a phenomenon that is increasingly
prevalent among minors. Some studies indicate
that self-harm is characterized by deliberate self-
realization causing physical damage to the body
and is practiced regulating emotions as an
adaptive response. Being the objective of the
study to develop an instrument to measure the
attitude towards self-harm in minors with
psychometric characteristics of appropriate
validity and reliability, a sample of 290 primary
and secondary students between 9 and 15 years
old was obtained. The results indicate a scale of
17 items with a Cronbach's Alpha of α = .836 and
a factorial structure of three components:
cognitive, affective and behavioral, which agree
with the tripartite model of attitude components.
When verifying the usefulness of the scale, some
comparisons were made, and it was obtained
that those who have thought about suicide
cognitively have more acceptance of self-harm;
besides that, men show greater willingness or
intention to self-harm. |
