“…Given that young people who self-harm often do so in secret and prefer to look for help in anonymous online communities, psychoeducation programs and therapy tailored specifically to this audience could be of high significance. This includes not only implementing guidelines on communicating about self-harm in social networks and monitoring their content [ 38 ], but also distinguishing between harmful and supportive content [ 39 ]. Further research is needed to identify the criteria of the latter and to establish the feasibility of running web-based support groups that wouldn’t promote or exacerbate self-harm.…”

BACKGROUND: Deliberate self-harm includes direct and indirect behaviors that cause harm to the body. Various manifestations of such behavior (e.g., non-suicidal self-injuries) are prevalent in adolescent and youth populations, and they often serve as precursors of subsequent suicidal behavior. The interpersonal dynamics that lead to self-harm behavior remain understudied. Interpersonal sensitivity, defined as an anticipation of criticism and fear of rejection in ones relationships with other people, may become one such factor. AIM: The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between interpersonal sensitivity, psychopathological symptoms, and types of self-harm. METHODS: The sample (n=804, 1735 years, M=23.34.6 years) was recruited in online communities. A survey developed by the authors was used to measure the types of self-harm. Other measures included the Interpersonal Sensitivity Measure and Symptom Checklist-90-R. RESULTS: It was discovered that superficial self-injuries could be related to more severe types of self-harm, destructive for the body on the whole (e.g., risk-taking, deprivation, fasting, substance abuse). Fear of rejection and psychopathological symptoms emerged as predictors of both superficial self-injuries and self-destructive behavior. Although younger respondents (1719 years old) were more likely to inflict on themselves superficial self-injuries, those who scored high on fear of rejection were more likely to report more severe self-destructive behavior. Acute psychological distress elevated this risk for both younger and older participants (2735 years old). CONCLUSIONS: The results of the study point at the important role the dynamics of interpersonal relationships plays in perpetuating self-harm.

Вопросы регулирования становятся все более актуальными, в том числе на фоне сообщений о широко распространённых онлайн-сообществах, пропагандирующих суицид [76], а также отдельных сообщениях о целенаправленных зловредных действиях неустановленных лиц в сети интернет, направленных на подстрекание к агрессии к окружающим либо аутоагрессии [77].…”
