“…For each block, average self‐shock was computed. Validity for the inferences that can be drawn from an individual’s behavior during the SAP are supported by the positive associations between shock intensity and self‐ratings of self‐aggressive (i.e., NSSI and suicidal) disposition, along with other variables related to extra‐laboratory self‐injurious behaviors (Berman, Jones, & McCloskey, 2005; Berman & Walley, 2003; McCloskey & Berman, 2003; McCloskey, Gollan, & Berman, 2008).…”

Previous research using self-report measures has shown an association between nonsuicidal self-injurious behavior (NSSI) and impulsive tendencies. However, self-injurers have not been shown to be different from comparison groups on laboratory tasks putatively assessing impulsive behavior. One explanation for these contradictory findings is that self-report and laboratory measures of impulsive behavior tap into distinct but related constructs. Moreover, performance on laboratory measures of impulsive behavior can be influenced by myriad contextual and affective factors not present during past self-reported NSSI events. Accordingly, a relationship between behavioral tasks of impulsivity and self-injurious behavior could emerge if both are assessed relatively close in time under controlled laboratory conditions. To test this possibility, both self-ratings and laboratory task measures of self-injurious and impulsive behavior were employed in the current study. This multi-modal assessment approach revealed that self-rated impulsivity was associated with both self-report and behavioral measures of self-injurious behavior. Moreover, behavioral measures of impulsivity were associated with self-injurious behavior, but not NSSI history. These results provide support for the notion that a multi-modal approach to assessing self-injurious behavior is important for better understanding the correlates of nonsuicidal self-injury.

“…The entire task, including completing the pain threshold procedures, takes approximately 18 minutes to complete. As previous research has reported group differences on shock selection (see McCloskey, Ben-Zeev, Lee, Berman, & Coccaro, 2009;McCloskey, Gollan, & Berman, 2008;McCloskey, Look, Chen, Pajoumand, & Berman, 2012), this information will not be included in the current study.…”

Objective: Despite increased use of behavioral analogues to identify casual mechanisms of selfinjurious behavior (e.g. suicide attempts; non-suicidal self-injury), little is known about the impact on participants. The current study examined the impact of a specific behavior analogue, Self-Aggressive Paradigm (SAP), on participant affect.Methods: Community participants (n = 507) reported several affective ratings before and after completing SAP task procedures.Results: Following the SAP, participants reported reductions in nervousness and fear and increases in calmness and anger (d = .21). Participants with a current anxiety disorder reported greater increases in happiness; those with a suicide attempt history reported greater increases in sadness.Results: Findings demonstrate the SAP has no adverse mood effects, supporting its use in experimental research.

“…External validity for the SAP is supported by the notion that the laboratory correlates of SAP behavior parallel those observed for extralaboratory ("real-world") self-injurious behaviors, including compromised 5-HT functioning (McCloskey et al, 2009), benzodiazepine consumption (Berman et al, 2005), alcohol intoxication (Berman, Bradley, et al, 2009;McCloskey & Berman, 2003), history of depression (McCloskey, Gollan, & Berman, 2008), and model effects (Berman & Walley, 2003;Sloan, Berman, Zeigler-Hill, & Bullock, 2009). In the absence of predisposing conditions (e.g., social influences, suicidal history, alcohol intoxication) the 20 shock is rarely selected.…”

Objective Non-experimental survey and field research support the notion that alcohol use may be associated with deliberate self-harm (DSH) across the spectrum of lethality, from non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) through suicide. Non-experimental studies, however, provide limited information about potential causal relationships between alcohol consumption and DSH. Two previous experiments showed that a relatively high-dose of alcohol increases the likelihood of engaging in DSH in the laboratory, defined by the self-administration of a “painful” shock (the Self-Aggression Paradigm: SAP; Berman & Walley, 2003; McCloskey & Berman, 2003). In this study, we examined whether (a) lower doses of alcohol also elicit DSH, (b) this effect occurs for women as well as men, and (c) individual differences in past non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) moderate alcohol’s effects on DSH. Method Non-alcohol dependent men and women (N = 210) were assigned either to .00%, .05%, .075%, or .100% blood alcohol concentration (BAC) drink conditions and completed a self-rating scale of NSSI (the Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory: DSHI; Gratz, 2001). As in previous SAP studies, DSH was operationalized by shock setting behavior during a competitive reaction-time game. Results Overall, a greater proportion of participants in the .075% and .100% (but not .050%) alcohol conditions self-selected a “painful” shock to administer compared to participants in the placebo condition. NSSI predicted self- administration of painful shocks, but did not moderate the alcohol effect. Conclusions Results provide experimental evidence to support the notion that interventions for self-harm should include processes to monitor and limit alcohol intake.
