“…This could explain why individuals with (vs. without) NSSI have been found to report higher rates of conflict and violence in their romantic relationships (see Levesque, Lafontaine, Bureau, Cloutier, & Dandurand, 2010;Rizzo et al, 2014;Taliaferro & Muehlenkamp, 2015). Indeed, results of this study suggest that individuals with NSSI are more likely to seek excessive reassurance from others-a relationship behavior linked to relationship stress and depression (see Evraire & Dozois, 2011;Starr, 2015;Stewart & Harkness, 2015). Thus, although individuals with NSSI may not experience their daily interactions with romantic partners as less supportive than those of individuals without NSSI, their relationship behaviors could have a detrimental impact on the quality and health of their romantic relationships in the long term.…”

Characterizing Interpersonal Difficulties Among Young Adults Who Engage in Nonsuicidal Self-Injury Using a Daily Diary

Compared to people who have never engaged in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), people with a history of NSSI report multiple interpersonal problems. Theories propose that these interpersonal difficulties play a role in prompting and maintaining NSSI. The cross-sectional nature of most studies in this area limits our understanding of how day-to-day interpersonal experiences relate to the global interpersonal impairments observed among individuals with NSSI, and vice versa. This study compared young adults with (n = 60) and without (n = 56) recent, repeated NSSI on baseline and daily measures of interpersonal functioning during a 14-day daily diary study. Groups differed in baseline social anxiety, excessive reassurance seeking, and use of support seeking relative to other coping strategies, but did not differ in self-perceived interpersonal competence. In terms of day-to-day functioning, participants with (vs. without) NSSI had significantly less contact with their families and friends, perceived less support following interactions with friends, and were less likely to seek support to cope, regardless of level of negative affect. With the exception of contact with family members, these group differences in daily interpersonal functioning were accounted for by baseline levels of social anxiety and use of support seeking. Contrary to expectations, participants with NSSI had more frequent contact with their romantic partners, did not differ in perceptions of support in romantic relationships, and did not report more intense negative affect following negative interpersonal interactions. This study provides a novel test of recent interpersonal theories of NSSI using daily reports.Keywords nonsuicidal self-injury; self-harm; social support; experience sampling; daily diary Address correspondence to Brianna J.

CIHR Author Manuscript CIHR Author Manuscript CIHR Author ManuscriptAlthough nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) has been recognized for decades as a serious clinical problem due to its associations with psychopathology, suicidality, and functional impairment (Glenn & Klonsky, 2013;Selby, Bender, Gordon, Nock, & Joiner, 2011), recent evidence suggests that NSSI is also associated with impairments in interpersonal functioning. Compared to individuals without a history of NSSI, those with NSSI report pervasive interpersonal problems, including poorer quality relationships with peers and caregivers (Claes, Houben, Vandereycken, Bijttebier, & Muehlenkamp, 2010;Gratz, Conrad, & Roemer, 2002;Hilt, Nock, Lloyd-Richardson, & Prinstein, 2008;Hoff & Muehlenkamp, 2009), greater loneliness (Giletta, Scholte, Engels, Ciairano, & Prinstein, 2012;Glenn & Klonsky, 2013;Guertin, Lloyd-Richardson, Spirito, Donaldson, & Boergers, 2001), higher rate...

“…Interactional models of depression suggest that the behaviors and attitudes of individuals with depression are conducive to interpersonal rejection [25,26]. For example, individuals with depression tend to excessively seek reassurance and negative feedback from others [25,27]. Both of these interpersonal processes can be perceived as aversive by members of the support network, who may subsequently distance themselves from the individual with depression [25,27].…”

“…Therefore, social media have the potential to cause behavioural addiction [37][38][39]. In addition, social media encourage dysfunctional personality styles (narcissism, low self-esteem, shyness, excessive need for confirmation; [59][60][61][62], antagonism (e.g. by encouraging jealousy and other interpersonal negative emotions; [63][64][65][66]) and in-group-outgroup formation by mechanisms such as dysfunctional social comparison processes [67,68] and other mental health problems (especially to anxiety and depression).…”

Pleasure junkies all around! Why it matters and why ‘the arts’ might be the answer: a biopsychological perspective

Today's society is pleasure seeking. We expect to obtain pleasurable experiences fast and easily. We are used to hyper-palatable foods and drinks, and we can get pornography, games and gadgets whenever we want them. The problem: with this type of pleasure-maximizing choice behaviour we may be turning ourselves into mindless pleasure junkies, handing over our free will for the next dopamine shoot. Pleasure-only activities are fun. In excess, however, such activities might have negative effects on our biopsychological health: they provoke a change in the neural mechanisms underlying choice behaviour. Choice behaviour becomes biased towards short-term pleasure-maximizing goals, just as in the addicted brain (modulated by the amygdala, posterior ventromedial prefrontal cortex' (VMPFC), striatum, nucleus accumbens; ‘A-system’) and away from long-term prosperity and general well-being maximizing objectives (normally ensured by the insula, anterior VMPFC, hippocampus, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC); ‘I-system‘). This paper outlines, first, what ‘pleasure’ is and what ‘pleasure-only’ activities are (e.g. social media engagement, hyper-palatable eating). Second, an account is given of the type of action that might aid to maintain the neural systems underlying choice behaviour balanced. Finally, it is proposed that engagement with the arts might be an activity with the potential to foster healthy choice behaviour—and not be just for pleasure. The evidence in this rather new field of research is still piecemeal and inconclusive. This review aims to motivate targeted research in this domain.
