Young people are suffering increased psychological disturbances that deteriorate and threaten their integrity. Harming self is one significant factor to emphasize. The purpose of this study was to assess the psychological predictors of deliberate self-harm controlling for socio-demographic and life style factors among university students in Jordan. A cross-sectional, correctional design was used to collect data from 374 university students in Jordan. Self-reported format was used to collect data. The majority of students (> 60%) thought of harming self, almost one-third had moderate to severe depression, 50% suffering moderate to high level of anxiety, and 67% (n = 251) of them have a likelihood to have social anxiety. Using six-step multiple hierarchical regression analysis, social anxiety (social phobia) was the only significant predictor of deliberate self-harm (Beta = .311, p < .001), while depression and anxiety were associated weakly and not found to be significant predictors (p >.05). No differences found in deliberate self-harm in relation to socio-demographic and life style factors except for alcohol use. University students are psychologically overwhelmed, and self-harm leading to threat of life was observed. Academics, administrators, and mental health professionals are sharing responsibilities towards maintaining mental wellbeing of university students and minimize deliberate self-harm.
