“…An association between NSSI and emotion regulation difficulties has been clearly confirmed ( 40 ), with NSSI being historically identified as a possible maladaptive strategy to modulate intense emotional reactions ( 70 ). Studies on SA and emotion dysregulation, instead, showed contrasting findings ( 41 , 71 , 72 ). Similarly, significant differences regarding the anger-type rumination dimension were not observed, as it resulted significantly higher in all three clinical groups.…”

“…In fact, literature seems to point out several areas that could underlie both phenomena, including depressive symptomatology ( 28 – 30 ), dissociative symptoms ( 31 ), impulsiveness ( 31 – 34 ), emotion identification ( 35 , 36 ), expression ( 37 , 38 ) and dysregulation ( 39 – 41 ), aggressivity and anger pervasiveness ( 42 ), feelings of worthlessness ( 43 ), and social reactivity (e.g., sensitivity to interpersonal rejection) ( 44 , 45 ). Despite that, data on possible differences between NSSI and SA relative to these factors is relatively scarce, particularly in youths.…”

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) can both precede and co-occur with suicidal attempts (SA). Underlying mechanisms/factors leading to the transition to SA in NSSI youths have been proposed (including the role of social cognition), despite they should be yet confirmed. Therefore, the study aims at exploring the role of the Theory of Mind in the differentiation of a sample of NSSI youngsters (aged 15-24) according to the presence of SA. We divided the sample into 4 groups using the Deliberate Self Harm Inventory (DSHI) and Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS): control group (notNSSInotSA), NSSI without SA (NSSInotSA), NSSI with SA (NSSIplusSA), and SA without NSSI (SAonly). NSSIplusSA patients displayed higher Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET) scores (indicative of ToM abilities) than both the NSSInotSA (p=0.0016) and SAonly groups (p=0.0198), while SAonly patients showed lower RMET scores compared to the control group (p=0.0214). Multiple regression models used to differentiate NSSInotSA and NSSIplusSA found a significant association between RMET and LOSCS-CSC (Level Of Self-Criticism Scale-Comparative Self-Criticism) (pC=0.0802, pD=0.0016, pG=0.0053). Our findings supported the hypothesis that a hypertrophic affective ToM may possibly be associated with the occurrence of SA in youth NSSI. Further larger and longitudinal studies should confirm these preliminary findings, by exploring all social cognition dimensions.

“…Accordingly, studies have shown that emotion dysregulation eases the development of suicidal ideation and behavior [15][16][17][18]. For instance, de la Torre-Luque and colleagues [19] examined different trajectories characterized by earlier emotional dysregulation associated with a higher risk of lifetime suicide attempts, as well as other proximal factors.…”

Suicide prevention represents a global imperative, and efforts to identify potential risk factors are intensifying. Among these, emotional regulation abilities represent a transdiagnostic component that may have an impactful influence on suicidal ideation and behavior. Therefore, the present systematic review aimed to investigate the association between emotion dysregulation and suicidal ideation and/or behavior in adult participants. The review followed PRISMA guidelines, and the research was performed through four major electronic databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, PsycInfo, and Web of Science) for relevant titles/abstracts published from January 2013 to September 2023. The review included original studies published in peer-reviewed journals and in English that assessed the relationship between emotional regulation, as measured by the Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale (DERS), and suicidal ideation and/or behavior. In total, 44 studies were considered eligible, and the results mostly revealed significant positive associations between emotion dysregulation and suicidal ideation, while the findings on suicide attempts were more inconsistent. Furthermore, the findings also confirmed the role of emotion dysregulation as a mediator between suicide and other variables. Given these results, it is important to continue investigating these constructs and conduct accurate assessments to implement effective person-centered interventions.
