Background: Given that self-harm serves as a significant indicator of suicide attempts and that the likelihood of suicide increases among adolescents who exhibit a higher frequency of self-harming behaviors, it becomes imperative to address this issue. This study aims to compare theory of mind, emotion recognition, and suicidal ideation among adolescents with and without self-harm.
Methods: The present study followed a causal-comparative design. The statistical population of the research study comprised all high school-educated boys and girls studying in the second half of the academic year 2022 in Guilan. Fifty-five boys and girls in high school were selected based on multi-stage cluster approach and purposeful sampling methods. Data-gathering instruments included the Ekman 60-Faces Test (EK-60F), the theory of mind scale (TOM), and the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSSI). Eventually, the data collected from 55 individuals were analyzed. The data were analyzed through a one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc test. SPSS-27 software was used to calculate descriptive statistics.
Results: The findings of the study at hand demonstrated that the 'boys with self-harm' group significantly differed from the girls without self-harm group regarding 'The introductory theory of mind' variable in the TOM (P<0.001). Considering the variable 'Emotion Recognition,' the group of boys with self-harm manifested a significant difference with the groups of boys without self-harm and girls without self-harm (p < 0.001). Respective to the variable of 'Suicide Ideation,' the group of boys with self-harm demonstrated a significant difference with the groups of boys without self-harm and girls without self-harm (P<0.001).
Conclusion: The findings of the current study, which examined the theory of mind, emotion recognition, and the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSSI) in adolescents with and without self-harm behaviors, revealed notable distinctions between these two groups.
