It has been shown that low level of emotional intelligence (EI) might be related to a higher risk of self-injuries. However, the exact mechanisms underlying this association are still unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore whether psychopathological symptoms and selected psychological processes mediate the association between EI and self-harm risk in adolescents with conduct disorders.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Method:<\/jats:bold> Out of 162 adolescents with conduct disorder approached for participation, 136 individuals (aged 14.8 \u00b1 1.2 years, 56.6% females) were enrolled and completed the questionnaires evaluating the level of EI, depression, anxiety, impulsiveness, empathy, venturesomeness, self-esteem, and disgust.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Individuals with a lifetime history of self-injuries had significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety and impulsivity as well as significantly lower levels of EI and self-esteem. Higher levels of EI were associated with significantly higher levels of self-esteem, venturesomeness and empathy as well as significantly lower levels of depression, anxiety and impulsivity. Further analysis revealed that trait and state anxiety as well as self-esteem were complete mediators of the association between EI and self-harm risk.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> Our findings indicate that anxiety and self-esteem might mediate the association between EI and a risk of self-injuries in adolescents with conduct disorder. However, a cross-sectional design of this study limits conclusions on the direction of causality. Longitudinal studies are needed to test validity of our model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2020.556278","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,8]],"date-time":"2021-01-08T05:14:56Z","timestamp":1610082896000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["From
