“…Thereby, NSSI may often be used by individuals with high reward sensitivity who want to feel better. Regarding the punishment stimulus, consistent with evidence from neurocognitive science in children and adolescence with NSSI ( Tsypes et al, 2018 ; Pollak et al, 2022 ), this study suggesting that adolescents who engage in R-NSSI have higher avoid motivation to punishment or aversive events. When individuals are unable to adaptively regulate negative emotion but choose to suppress or avoid the feeling, then NSSI may be chosen because it usually serves the purpose of regulating distressing or aversive emotions, through avoidance or replacement of these states ( Wu et al, 2021 ).…”

“…For example, one of the studies has directly compared children with NSSI to healthy controls in the processing of guessing tasks, and found greater neural response to losses versus rewards than children with no history of NSSI ( Tsypes et al, 2018 ). Furthermore, Pollak et al (2022) found that heighten neural reactivity to social punishment predicted greater NSSI engagement 1 year later among adolescents with high peer rejection. However, whether punishment sensitivity contributes to the R-NSSI remains unclear.…”

“…Previous studies support the finding that social punishment coupled with high levels of peer exclusion may increase the risk of NSSI among adolescents. 58 According to the ASLEC construct, punishments include “failure of expected selection, criticism or discipline, transfer or drop-out, being punished, fight, scolding by parents, accident”, while interpersonal relationships include “being misunderstood, being discriminated against, having disputes with classmates or close friends, public humiliation”. Previous studies addressing the association between interpersonal relationships and NSSI have shown that NSSI behaviors are positively associated with peer isolation, bullying, and alienation.…”

Background Previous studies have demonstrated a strong association between recent stressful life events and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among adolescents. Internalizing symptoms and difficulty in emotion regulation (DER) may mediate this relationship. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between recent stressful life events and NSSI severity in adolescents and the potential moderating role of internalizing symptoms and DER. Methods A total of 224 adolescent inpatients (78.6% female) participated in the study, with an age range of 12–18 years old. Data on recent stressful life events, internalizing symptoms, DER, and NSSI behaviors were collected using a clinician-rated questionnaire. A structural equation model was used to test the hypothesized model. Results The rate of NSSI reporting among adolescents in the past 12 months was 65.18%. Recent stressful life events were found to be directly associated with NSSI severity ( β = 0.128, P = 0.023). A chain-mediating effect between recent stressful life events and NSSI was also confirmed ( β = 0.034, P = 0.023), with DER and internalizing symptoms playing a chain-mediating role and DER having a significantly indirect association with NSSI through internalizing symptoms. Conclusion Recent stressful life events appear to play a role in the etiology of NSSI, particularly punishment and interpersonal relationship events that warrant special attention. DER and internalizing symptoms play a chain-mediating role in the relationship between life events and NSSI. Reducing recent stressful life events, screening for internalizing symptoms, and improving emotion regulation may decrease NSSI behavior among adolescents.

“…Current studies have demonstrated that NSSI behaviors are mainly affected by individual psychological, environmental, and neurobiological factors. NSSI behavior is not the result of a single factor but the result of a combination of neurobiological factors related to genetics and acquired factors, such as personality, family, and adverse life events (15)(16)(17)(18). This behavior may occur in isolation or in association with several specific psychiatric syndromes.…”

IntroductionFamily environment is the primary environment for adolescent growth and development, which is believed to have an important impact on the occurrence of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior in adolescents. This study aimed to explore the effects of family environment cognition and cognitive differences perceived by adolescents and their parents on the treatment effects of NSSI in adolescents and to provide more potential perspectives for NSSI treatment.MethodsA one-year prospective longitudinal sub-cohort investigation was carried out among 199 adolescents engaged in NSSI and one of their important guardians from the Longitudinal Psychosomatic Disease Study (LoPDS). The NSSI behaviors of adolescents were evaluated at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after enrollment. The family environment scale (FES) and NSSI Behavior Questionnaire were used as assessment tools for family environment and adolescents NSSI behaviors. Multiple linear regression was used to investigate the role of family environment perception difference in the treatment effect of adolescent NSSI.ResultsAfter one year of follow-up, the perceived self-injury impulse score in recent 2 weeks, self-injury impulse frequency in recent 2 weeks, total number of self-injury in recent 2 weeks decreased significantly. The higher the adolescent family cohesion (Beta: 1.130, 95% CI: 0.886,1.373; p=0.032), parental family expressiveness (Beta: 0.818, 95% CI: 0.375,1.260; p=0.037) and parental family active-recreational orientation score (Beta: 0.609, 95% CI: 0.236,0.981; p=0.048), the better the treatment effect. However, higher adolescent family conflict (Beta: -0.838, 95% CI: -1.377,-0.298; p=0.024) were associated with lower treatment outcomes. The greater the cognitive difference between parents and adolescents in family cohesion (Beta: -1.307, 95% CI: -2.074,-0.539; p=0.014) and family conflict(Beta: -0.665, 95% CI: -0.919,-0.410; p=0.037), the worse the therapeutic effect of NSSI might be.DiscussionThere were certain differences in the cognition of family relationships between parents and adolescents, and subjective family relationship cognition and cognitive differences had a significant effect on the treatment effect of NSSI in adolescents. Helping them identify the cause of cognitive differences and conducting systematic family therapy from the points of difference may be another perspective to improve the treatment effect of NSSI in adolescents.
