Abstract: Using two-wave longitudinal study, the present study examined the relationship between bullying victimization and self-injury and the mediating role of loneliness as well as the moderating role of teacher justice. A sample of 2675 students from 7 secondary schools in one city of China (Meanage = 13.96 years old, 51.70% boys) completed anonymous questionnaires twice within six months. The results showed that: (1) After controlling gender, age and T1 self-injury, T1 bullying victimization was positively predicted T2 self-injury; (2) T2 loneliness mediated the relationship between T1 bullying victimization and T2 self-injury; (3) The effect of T2 loneliness on T2 self-injury was moderated by T1 teacher justice, with the effect being non-significant for students with high perception of teacher justice.

Key words: bullying victimization, non-suicidal self-injury, loneliness, teacher justice, adolescents
