  1. The validity was determined based on confirmatory factor analysis. The results for the hypothesized model showed good fit indices overall: χ2/df = 1.356; root mean square error of approximation = 0.047 < 0.080, comparative fit index = 0.982 > 0.950, Tucker–Lewis index = 0.971 > 0.950; SRMR = 0.066; CI, confidence interval; The effects of covariates (i.e., gender, educational level) were controlled in the SEM analysis. All the coefficients were standardized. CESD, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale; CM, Childhood Maltreatment; DIF, Difficulty Identifying Feelings; SF, Self-injury functions; DSHI, Deliberate Self-Harm Behavior Inventory.
