“…Many individuals who engage in NSSI use multiple methods to harm themselves ( 37 ). Instead of NSSI frequency in our current study we analysed the number of methods because according to Saldias et al.’s ( 56 ) study, the authors also analysed the number of methods of NSSI because it was felt to be reasonably reliable self-report indicators of NSSI compared to the frequency. According to the authors’ opinion, individuals with mental health problems are unable to accurately report the frequency due to the high number of NSSI episodes they had experienced.…”

Nonsuicidal Self-Injury: Its Associations With Pathological Internet Use and Psychopathology Among Adolescents

Background/Hypotheses: As risk factors for nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), most studies highlight the importance of internalising disorders, while only a few researches show the connection between externalising disorders and NSSI. Although some papers have introduced the idea that increasing prevalence rates of NSSI are connected to the broader use of the internet, associations between NSSI and pathological internet use (PIU) are understudied. According to our hypothesis, there is a connection between PIU and NSSI, but this is mediated by psychopathological factors from both internalising and externalising dimensions. Methods: In line with the dimensional approach of psychiatric disorders, participants (N = 363) were recruited from both clinical (N = 202 psychiatric inpatient) and nonclinical (N = 161 adolescents from secondary schools) settings. Measurements: Demographic Questionnaire; Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ); Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory (DSHI); Young Diagnostic Questionnaire for Internet Addiction (YDQ), Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview Kid (M.I.N.I. Kid). Results: There was high NSSI frequency (39.9%-71% of them were girls) in our sample. NSSI was significantly more frequent among those who showed threshold symptoms on SDQ than in the subthreshold group [H(3) = 53.293, p <.001]. In the NSSI frequency, there was also a significant difference between 'normal' internet users and both 'maladaptive' and 'pathological' internet users [H(2) = 10.039, p <.05 p = .007]. According to the mediator models, the relationship between PIU and NSSI is not a direct association; it is mediated by all examined psychopathological factors (M.I.N.I. kid diagnoses) except for obsessivecompulsive disorder (OCD), alcohol abuse and dependence, and adjustment disorder. Conclusions: We found a high frequency of NSSI. According to our results, PIU in itself is not a risk factor for NSSI but might become a risk factor in the presence of comorbid

“…These include excessive self-reported negative emotionality and dysregulated emotional processing (Glenn, Blumenthal, Klonsky, & Hajcak, 2011; Najmi, Wegner, & Nock, 2007; Nock & Mendes, 2008; Plener, Bubalo, Fladung, Ludolph, & Lulé, 2012), and high self- or other-focused blame and aggression (e.g., Swannell et al, 2012; Wolff et al, 2014). Additional research examining the role of maladaptive schemas regarding early caregiving experiences in NSSI has shown relations between NSSI and “angry child” (i.e., individual feels angry regarding early emotional or physical abandonment) or “punitive parent” (i.e., individual feels she or he deserves punishment) schemas regarding one's (retrospectively reported) childhood caregiving experiences (Saldias, Power, Gillander, Campbell, & Blake, 2013). Similar relations have been found between NSSI and holding intra personal schemas of alienation and defectiveness, and inter personal schemas of abandonment and abuse (Quirk, Wier, Martin, & Christian, 2015).…”

Preoccupied but not dismissing attachment states of mind are associated with nonsuicidal self-injury

In this investigation the factor structure of the Adult Attachment Interview was studied in a partially at-risk sample of 120 young adults. More specifically, 60 participants had engaged in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI; 53 females, M age = 20.38 years), and 60 were non-self-injuring controls matched by age and sex. Theoretically anticipated differential associations between preoccupied (but not dismissing) states of mind and NSSI were then examined. Exploratory factor analyses identified evidence for two weakly correlated state of mind dimensions (i.e., dismissing and preoccupied) consistently identified in factor analyses of normative-risk samples. As hypothesized, results further showed that preoccupied (but not dismissing) states of mind were associated with NSSI behavior. Findings support existing arguments suggesting that the regulatory strategy adults adopt when discussing attachment-related experiences with primary caregivers, particularly passive, angry, or unresolved discourse patterns, is uniquely correlated with NSSI.

“…A few studies investigating the role of maladaptive schemas in NSSI have also illuminated a potential relationship between shame and NSSI (Lewis, Lumley, & Grunberg, 2015; Quirk, Wier, Martin, & Christian, 2015; Saldias, Power, Gillanders, Campbell, & Blake, 2013). While these studies do not specifically focus on shame, their findings summarily indicate that many shame-based schemas (i.e., those relating to alienation, rejection, disconnection, defectiveness, and powerlessness) are stronger in individuals who engage in NSSI.…”

Shame Proneness, Shame Coping, and Functions of Nonsuicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) Among Emerging Adults

Shame proneness (i.e., experiencing shame in a trait-like manner) and internalizing shame coping styles (e.g., withdrawing/ attacking one's self when feeling shame) predict distress, psychopathology, and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) among emerging adults. Parental invalidation is instrumental in the development of both maladaptive shame and NSSI. In this study, we proposed that shame proneness and internalized shame coping would link perceived parental invalidation and psychological distress to NSSI functions among emerging adults. A sample of 384 Australian emerging adults with a history of NSSI (M age ¼ 20.7 years, SD ¼ 2.25; 81.3% female, 61.2% Caucasian) completed online self-reports assessing the relevant constructs. Hypothesized indirect effects through shame proneness and internalized shame coping were supported when participants reported using NSSI for intrapersonal (e.g., self-punishment), but not interpersonal (e.g., signaling autonomy), functions. Findings advance theories on why some young people engage in NSSI and implicate perceived parental invalidation and shame as potential clinical targets for NSSI. warranting further research.
