Description
Jingjing Li and Chengfu Yu studied how bad peer company can lead teens toward self-injury, and how genes tune that path, in a 2024 study. Self-injury without suicidal intent is a rising health worry among adolescents worldwide. The team asked whether depression carries the effect of deviant peers, and whether a variant in the oxytocin receptor gene changes the flow.
They surveyed 469 students with an average age near 13. Modeling showed the peer effect ran through depression: worse company raised depression, which raised self-injury. The chain held firmly only for teens with the AA form of the gene variant. For those with GA or GG forms, the chain did not reach firm levels. The authors name depression care and gene-aware support as twin targets.
