Abstract: Based on emotional security theory, this study constructed a moderated mediation model to examine whether emotional security mediated the relation between interparental conflict and adolescents' self-injury, and whether this mediating process was moderated by the Regulatory Emotional self-efficacy. Based on cluster sampling, 2800 middle school students were recruited to participate in this study. The study indicated that:(1) among the participants, the percentage of self-injury behavior is 41.49%, the level of self-injury has relations with grade, school type and whether one child or more; (2) interparental conflict significantly positively predicted the level of adolescents' self-injury, the emotional insecurity played a partial mediating role between the interparental conflict and adolescents' self-injury; (3) the mediation of emotional insecurity was significantly negatively moderated by perceived self-efficacy in managing negative effect. In the term of low perceived self-efficacy in managing negative effect,the mediating of emotional insecurity between the interparental conflict and adolescents' self-injury is significant.
