Key Points
NSSI was found to be more prevalent in females (80.18%) compared to males (61.51%), highlighting a gender discrepancy.
For males, social and verbal victimization significantly predicted NSSI related to emotion regulation, whereas physical victimization was a key predictor for females.
Regression analyses showcased that physical, social, and verbal victimization predict attention-seeking functions of NSSI similarly in both genders.
Property victimization was uniquely linked to social avoidance-driven NSSI in females, underlining the need for gender-sensitive interventions.
