“…In line with Heath et al (2009), we found no gender differences in the prevalence of NSSI although, consistent with earlier research (e.g., Baetens et al 2011b;Heath et al 2008), the method of self-injury appears to differ by gender, with girls being more likely to cut and boys to bang/hit themselves.…”

Perceived parental expressed emotions have a substantial effect on adolescents' well-being and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). The present study examines the mediating effects of self-criticism and depression in the relationship between perceived parental expressed emotions and NSSI. In total, 358 adolescents between the ages of twelve and twenty were examined. The brief NSSI assessment tool was used to assess NSSI. Depressive symptoms and self-criticism were examined with the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI-NL) and the Self Rating Scale. Finally, the self-report questionnaire of the level of expressed emotions was used to assess perceived parental expressed emotions. The lifetime prevalence of NSSI in the current study was 13.41 %. Results of a mediation analysis show the relationship between selfcriticism and NSSI is mediated by depressive symptoms. Furthermore, results of a path model analysis, explaining 20 % of the variance in NSSI frequency, show a direct effect of perceived parental environment (perceived lack of emotional support and perceived parental criticism) on NSSI frequency, as well as indirect paths via adolescent risk factors (depressive symptoms and self-criticism). Perceived lack of parental emotional support had a direct effect on frequency of NSSI, as well as an indirect effect via depressive symptoms. Perceived parental criticism on the other hand, had no direct effect on frequency of NSSI, but showed an indirect effect through self-criticism. This study improves our understanding of the underlying mechanisms involved in NSSI by interrelating significant family and adolescent risk factors. Limitations and clinical implications of these findings are discussed.

“…Close examination of gender differences in the prevalence of each specific NSSI behavior revealed that girls were more likely to conduct self-cutting, carving, scratching skin, and biting, and boys were more likely to drip acid onto skin and scrub skin using bleach or cleaner. This pattern of gender difference is partly consistent with those of previous studies (Andover, Primack, Gibb, & Pepper, 2010;Baetens et al, 2011;You et al, 2011). Taken together, these findings suggest that NSSI is a relatively common phenomenon among adolescents in Taiwan.…”

“…This is consistent with earlier studies (e.g. Baetens et al, 2011;Klonsky et al, 2003). As revealed by the present study, the relation between neuroticism and NSSI might be explained partly by depression.…”

“…Female Body Attitudes in Non-Suicidal Self-Injury with a history of NSSI are indicating that they avoid social situations where they are more likely to be objectified by others, or have their body evaluated, which potentially enhances their own selfobjectification, and may intensify bodyrelated concerns or dissatisfaction (Moradi & Huang, 2008). It is also possible that the avoidance of social situations may reflect some social anxiety or discomfort, which has been found to be higher among those with a history of NSSI (Baetens, Claes, Willem et al, 2011;Claes, Houben, Vandereycken et al, 2010). Lastly, the finding that eating restraint scores were higher among those with a history of NSSI is consistent with other literature showing higher rates of disordered eating symptoms among persons reporting NSSI compared to those without a history of NSSI (Peebles, Wilson, & Lock, 2011;Ross, Heath, & Toste, 2009).…”

The authors evaluated the theoretical suggestion that self-objectification, negative body attitudes, and body-image avoidant behaviors are associated with non-suicidal self-injury among both males and females. A sample of 365 male and female (82.4% reporting female) undergraduate students (26.5% reporting NSSI) from a variety of academic disciplines completed a secure on-line survey assessing objectification, body image related variables, and history of NSSI. Participants reporting a history of NSSI endorsed significantly more body-related disturbances than participants reporting no history of NSSI. Males reporting a history of NSSI scored similarly to females both with and without a history of NSSI, and only differed from males without a history of NSSI on self-objectification. Theoretical models proposing body objectification and attitudes are important to understanding etiological risks for NSSI have merit. Additional research on these potential risk factors is needed.
