Abstract: In this study,2388 adolescents with a history of self-injury in the past year were tested with the Adolescents Self-Harm Scale and the method of latent class analysis (LCA) was used to explore the classification model of adolescent self-injury and to explore the effect of demographic variables on the heterogeneity of type II NSSI in adolescents. The study indicated that there was obvious heterogeneity in adolescent self-injury. Firstly, according to the different nature, it is divided into two types: type I NSSI and type II NSSI, and secondly, according to the level of self-injury, type II NSSI was further divided into mild self-injury, slightly mild self-injury, moderate self-injury, severe self-injury and more severe self-injury. Sex and family location mainly affect mild / slightly mild self-injury in adolescent type II NSSI, while age impacts all the five potential types of adolescent type II NSSI.

Key words: adolescent, self-injury, latent profile analysis
