Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the association between impulsive personality traits and self-harm tendencies with the influence of coping strategies among the university students. The sample of total 200 participants were drawn from the university students through survey form, with the age range of 18 to 30 years (male= 81, female=119). Assessment measures used in this study for measuring impulsive personality traits, coping strategies and self-harm tendencies are; UPPS-P short version (Whiteside and Lynam 2001), Brief cope inventory (Eisenberg, S. A., 2012) and Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory (Gratz, 2001). Firstly, in this research we compute the data, run the descriptive analysis then run the analysis of Pearson Correlation and the last analysis is multiple linear Regressions. So, the outcomes of Pearson correlation analysis have shown that impulsive personality traits were negatively significant in relation with self-harm tendencies and coping strategies. The study concluded that an increase in impulsive personality traits causes an increase in self-harm tendencies. This study has implications in the areas of literature gap and provided the necessary aspects for the understanding of impulsive behaviors with its relationship with self-harm tendencies.
