Abstract

The inability of adolescents to complete their development and the lack of effective coping strategies can cause adolescents to engage in self-harm behavior. If left unchecked, this action can have a negative impact, so self-control is needed in the form of self-control. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between self-control and self-harm behavior in adolescents. The type of research used is descriptive correlation with a Cross Sectional design. A total of 335 respondents were selected based on the Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling technique from a total of students in grades VII, VIII and IX spread across 30 classes. Data collection used the Brief Self Control Scale questionnaire and the Self Injury Behavior Tendency questionnaire directly and was analyzed using the Spearman Rank test. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between self-control and self-harm behavior (p value = 0.000; r = -0.569), which means that self-control and self-harm behavior have a strong relationship with a negative (opposite) relationship direction. The higher the self-control, the lower the self-harm behavior that is carried out. Self-control in adolescents greatly influences how adolescents behave in the situations they face, so it is important for adolescents to have high self-control in order to prevent self-harming behavior.
