Abstract: Based on cumulative risk model, the present study investigated the cumulative effects of family risk factors on adolescents self-injury, as well as the gender difference in this model. A sample of 453 seventh-grade students are tracked at 10-month interval. The results revealed that: (1) Family risk factor shad a significant cumulative effect on adolescents’ current and subsequent self-injury, which were characterized by the linear pattern; (2) The gender difference in the linear relationship between cumulative family risk and adolescents’ current self-injury was significant. Girls had higher cumulative family risk and are more sensitive to family risk factors.

Key words: adolescent, self-injury, family risk factors, gender difference, cumulative effect
