Abstract Background Depression and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) are theorized to mutually reinforce one another, yet longitudinal evidence for this bidirectional relationship, particularly in high-risk populations like children who have experienced parental migration, remains limited. Parental migration often exacerbated vulnerabilities due prolonged separation, making population critical understanding mechanisms disrupt the vicious cycle. Methods A 10-month study was conducted assess 390 left-behind (158 girls; 7 unreported gender; Mage = 12.50 ± 0.67) at two time points. Cross-lagged panel model constructed examine relationship between depression NSSI, while hierarchical regression used moderating role of care. Results significant increase observed over time, with a gender difference that girls reporting higher than boys. The prevalence NSSI remained stable though exhibited significantly elevated follow-up. modeling confirmed relationships baseline positively predicted subsequent depression. Notably, care emerged as moderator, specifically attenuating association but showed no comparable effect on pathway. Conclusions This confirms reciprocal Chinese highlighting buffering depression-driven risk.
