Risk factors for self‐injurious behaviour in custody: Problems of definition and prediction

This article reviews the international literature of the last two decades on self-injurious behaviour in prisons and jails and introduces the risk factors associated with this behaviour. Studies from a variety of countries investigated different samples (e.g. in jails or prisons; female or male inmates). We only chose those studies using a control group of inmates without self-injurious behaviour. The findings on potential risk factors for self-injurious behaviour are largely contradictory because of the differences in sample selection and dependent variables (deliberate self-harm without suicidal intent vs. suicide attempts). We also discuss some methodological problems in predicting self-injurious behaviour. Defining the subjectThe results of studies on risk factors for self-injurious behaviour can vary greatly depending on the type of self-injurious behaviour being examined (Borrill et al., 2003;Daigle, 2004;Kerkhof & Bernasco, 1990). Thus, the selection and operational definition of the dependent variable(s) are two of the most basic and decisive steps in designing such a study. In this regard, studies have investigated a wide range of phenomena. Ivanoff (1989) called the definitions idiosyncratic. Malone et al. (1995) found inconsistencies in the definition of suicide attempts not only in the cases they examined, but also in the literature. The definitions included behaviours that ranged from suicidal ideation (i.e. no acting-out behaviour in the real sense; Daigle, 2004) to self-harming behaviour with various degrees of lethality and motives, to acts that might be called suicide attempts because the inmates had relatively strong desires to die or had inflicted considerable harm on themselves. In conceptualizing self-injurious behaviour in custody, some authors, on the one hand, use varying terms such as self-harm, suicide attempt, or parasuicide interchangeably

“…, thereby ignoring the signs that self-harm and suicide attempt are two distinct phenomena (Fulwiler et al, 1997;Muehlenkamp & Gutierrez, 2004;Penn et al, 2003;Shea, 1993). An etiological separation is no longer possible after a study has been carried out (McCleave & Latham, 1998).…”

“…These internal factors may be related to long-standing personality traits; however, few studies have considered personality traits of individuals who self-injure, and available studies often offer contradictory findings. Using the Five Factor Model, clinical samples of those practicing NSSI have demonstrated significantly lower levels of Extraversion [14,15] and higher levels of Neuroticism [14] while a sample of prisoners reported higher levels of Extraversion [16]. Studies of NSSI using undergraduate samples have found higher levels of Neuroticism and Openness to experience [8,17] but have differed on the remaining factors.…”

Abstract:This investigation assessed the role of the Big Five dimensions of personality and perfectionism in predicting nonsuicidal cutting in a sample of undergraduate students. Of 292 students, 50 (17%) endorsed cutting behavior. Duration of cutting was associated with Openness, and Introversion, as well as perfectionistic rumination. Frequency of cutting was associated with Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, low Neuroticism (accounting for about 20% of the variance), as well as perfectionistic rumination, organization, and low concern over mistakes (accounting for 31% of the variance). These findings are discussed in the context of previous research investigations of risk factors for nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) that are convergent, and sometimes discrepant with these data. The findings suggest that more research into personality traits and methods of NSSI is warranted.

Efecto del enriquecimiento ambiental en un grupo de monos araña (Ateles geoffroyi) en cautiverio

SUMMARYCaptive animals suffer from stress and lack of stimulation. Environmental enrichment (EE) provides them with a series of activities that encourages them to present species-specific behaviors. The objective of this work was to analyze the effect of an EE program in the behavior of a 7-spider monkey colony. It was expected that aggression, coprophilia and stereotypes would be less frequent, while exploration and play would increase. The study was divided in two stages: one previous to EE and one while EE was being implemented. A focal sampling per behavior was undertaken in 1-h continuous recordings for a total of 40 hours per stage. We compared the frequency of each behavior with a Wilcoxon's signal test. The results showed that aggression, stereotypes and coprophilia were reduced during EE, while exploration and play increased significantly. No significant differences were found between sexes. EE reduces the problems originated by confinement; therefore, it must be considered a necessary tool to be continuously employed to make an improvement into the life conditions of confined individuals.Key words: Behavioral change, animal welfare, environmental enrichment, Ateles geoffroyi. RESUMENLos animales que viven en cautiverio padecen problemas relacionados con el estrés y la falta de estimulación. El enriquecimiento ambiental (EA) proporciona a los animales en esta situación un conjunto de actividades que los alienta a presentar conductas típicas de su especie. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar el efecto de un programa de EA en la conducta de una colonia de siete monos araña (Ateles geoffroyi). Se esperaba que la agresión, la coprofilia y las estereotipias fueran menos frecuentes entre los monos, mientras que la exploración y el juego se presentaran con mayor frecuencia. Para ello, la investigación se dividió en dos etapas: una etapa previa al EA y una etapa durante el EA. En cada etapa se registraron las siguientes categorías conductuales: agresión, coprofilia, estereotipias, exploración y juego. Se utilizó un muestreo focal por conducta en registros continuos de 1 hr., obteniéndose en cada etapa 40 hrs. de observación. Al comparar la frecuencia de dichas conductas con la prueba de los signos de Wilcoxon, se encontró que la agresión, las estereotipias y la coprofilia disminuyeron durante el EA. La exploración y el juego se incrementaron significativamente con el EA. No se observaron diferencias significativas al comparar el sexo de los individuos. El EA disminuye los problemas causados por el confinamiento, por lo que debe contemplarse como una herramienta indispensable que de manera constante mejore las condiciones de vida en individuos confinados.
