Abstract:
The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between temperament and self-harm behavior in university students. This was a correlational study in which a total of 300 university students were involved ranging from 19 to 23 years (M ? 21.04, SD ? 1.26). Two self-report measures were used including the Temperament Scale for University Students (TSUS) and Self-Harm Tendencies Scale (SHTS). The results concluded that impulsivity, submissiveness, and introversion temperament traits were positively linked with self-harm behavior and only apprehensiveness temperament predicted self-harm behavior. Overall, women were found to be more prone to self-injurious behaviors.
