“…Furthermore, the main effect of MCR on NSSI was not significant once all the factors were included in the model, yet emotional reactivity and BR retained significant main effects. This may suggest that emotion reactivity and BR are more robust factors influencing NSSI behavior than MCR, which is consistent with some recent studies (Hatzopoulos et al, 2022;Kruzan et al, 2022).…”

Objectives This study sought to empirically examine the Emotional Cascade Model of nonsuicidal self‐injury (NSSI), and to examine if body regard mitigates these variables' impact on NSSI in college students. We tested a three‐way interaction between emotional reactivity, maladaptive cognitive regulation strategies, and body regard predicting NSSI frequency. Methods Two thousand sixty‐six undergraduate students (Mage = 20.38; 72.4% identified as female; 91.7% White; 22.7% with NSSI) completed measures of emotion reactivity, maladaptive cognitive regulation strategies, body regard, and lifetime NSSI frequency. Results The three‐way interaction between emotion reactivity, maladaptive cognitive regulation strategies, and body regard was significant. The interaction effect of emotional reactivity and maladaptive cognitive regulation strategies on NSSI was significant when body regard was low but not significant at average and high levels of body regard. The highest NSSI frequency was reported by those high in emotion reactivity and maladaptive cognitive regulation strategies, and low in body regard. Conclusion These results support the emotional cascade theory of NSSI, and support assertions that body regard might act as a protective barrier against NSSI in the context of heightened emotion reactivity and maladaptive cognitive regulation strategies.

“…After experiencing childhood maltreatment—such as sexual abuse, physical abuse and neglect; and emotional abuse and neglect [ 36 ]—highly neurotic individuals are more likely to have negative emotions such as depression, anxiety, guilt, and fear. If they fail to mobilize more cognitive resources and physiological energy to regulate negative emotions, rumination moderates the relationships between reactivity, intensity, and perseveration of emotion and NSSI, leading to a higher tendency towards NSSI behavior [ 37 , 38 ]. We, therefore, suggest that reasonably addressing long-term negative emotions, which can alleviate depression, may be an effective intervention to reduce NSSI behavior of college students.…”

Background: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior among college students is a focus of attention in current society. In the information era, the Internet serves as a public health concern and as an effective pathway for prevention. In order to reduce NSSI behavior, we explore its influence factors, especially the relations between neuroticism, emotion regulation (ER), depression, and NSSI behavior. Methods: A total of 450 college students were surveyed with the Big Five Inventory-2, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Self-Rating Depression Scale, and Adolescent Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Assessment Questionnaire. Results: Regression analysis showed that neuroticism significantly negatively predicted emotion regulation, while it positively predicted depression and NSSI. Multiple mediation modeling demonstrated that neuroticism and emotion regulation had no significant direct effects on NSSI. However, neuroticism could indirectly affect NSSI through four pathways of multiple mediating effects, including depression, cognitive reappraisal-depression, expressive suppression-depression, and cognitive reappraisal-expressive suppression-depression. Conclusions: Neuroticism positively predicts depression and NSSI behavior, and affects NSSI through the mediating effect of ER and depression. Therefore, amelioration of neuroticism from the perspectives of emotion regulation and depression is recommended, so as to reduce NSSI behavior among college students with highly neurotic personalities.

“…There were a range of control variables used, the most common being gender, age, psychological distress, and mental health diagnoses. Transdiagnostic rumination had the strongest adjusted associations, with three studies showing greater transdiagnostic rumination in individuals with a history of NSSI than those without (Ahn, Lee, & Jung, 2021; Hatzopoulos, Boyes, & Hasking, 2021;Slabbert et al, 2018), whilst adjusting for other variables (B = .25; B = .27; B = .59). However, this effect did not remain significant in other studies (B = 21; B = 30).…”

Background Rumination is a cognitive process that has been implicated in the onset and maintenance of a variety of psychological difficulties. The purpose of this review and meta‐analysis was to examine the nature and strength of the relationship between rumination and non‐suicidal self‐injury (NSSI). Methods The protocol for this review was pre‐registered (CRD42019148186). A literature search of electronic databases PsycINFO, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Web of Science was performed from the earliest date available to March 2020. Thirty‐nine eligible papers were identified. An additional seven papers were identified from a search conducted in September 2021, resulting in a total of 46 papers. Separate meta‐analyses were undertaken for NSSI frequency and NSSI history, with studies grouped by rumination type (depressive, transdiagnostic, anger, brooding, reflection, catastrophising, overall). Moderator analyses were also conducted along with a narrative synthesis of adjusted associations and longitudinal studies. Results Rumination had a positive small association with NSSI frequency and a positive moderate association with NSSI history. The adjusted associations yielded mixed findings and most longitudinal research found rumination to be associated with prospective NSSI. Limitations Most included studies had a moderate risk of bias and used a student sample. A limitation of this review was that only English language papers were included. Conclusions Findings indicate that rumination is associated with NSSI, but more so the likelihood of engaging in NSSI overall than the frequency. Rumination‐focused techniques for NSSI may therefore be of benefit. Further research is needed to understand this association, particularly with longitudinal studies that focus on state rumination rather than stable trait rumination. Practitioner points Rumination was found to have a small to moderate association with NSSI. Some individuals who engage in NSSI may benefit from psychological techniques that target rumination. Most of the studies included had a moderate risk of bias.
