“…The central role of interpersonal distress and social factors in NSSI behaviors is well documented (Nock, ; Prinstein, Guerry, Adelman, & Rancourt, ). For instance, research has shown that individuals with (vs. without) a history of NSSI report greater impairments in social problem‐solving abilities (Nock, ), lower perceived social support from family members (Muehlenkamp, Brausch, Quigley, & Whitlock, ) and friends (Turner, Wakefield, Gratz, & Chapman, ), reduced social support seeking (Muehlenkamp et al, ; Turner et al, ), and more severe social anxiety symptoms (Turner et al, ).
