The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the relationships among social support, resilience, and the tendency toward self-injury among soldiers, and the moderating effect of resilience on the relationship between social support and the tendency of self-injury. 807 soldiers in military service were investigated by the instrument of 'Soldiers' Life Attitude Questionnaire.' The main Findings of this research are summarized as the follows: 1. The more social support a soldier perceives, the less likely he will have the tendency toward self-injury. 2. The better resilience a soldier has, the less likely he will have the tendency toward self-injury. 3. Soldier's resilience is the moderator of the relationship between social support and the tendency toward self-injury. Discussion and recommendations for future research and soldiers were suggested in the end of this study.
