Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine the moderated mediating effect of social support on the relationship between internalized shame and non-suicidal self-injury through anger rumination.
 Methods A total of 318 undergraduate students was asked to complete self-report questionnaires including Internalized Shame Scale(ISS), Korean version of Anger Rumination Scale(K-ARS), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support(MSPSS), and Korean version of the Self-Harm Inventory(K-SHI).
 Results The results showed that mediation effect of anger rumination between internalized shame and non-sui-cidal self-injury was significant. Social support moderated the mediating effect of anger rumination between in-ternalized shame and non-suicidal self-injury.
 Conclusions These findings suggest that anger rumination mediated the relationship between internalized shame and non-suicidal self-injury, and social support may play a buffering role in this path. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study were discussed.
