Characterizing Interpersonal Difficulties Among Young Adults Who Engage in Nonsuicidal Self-Injury Using a Daily Diary

Compared to people who have never engaged in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), people with a history of NSSI report multiple interpersonal problems. Theories propose that these interpersonal difficulties play a role in prompting and maintaining NSSI. The cross-sectional nature of most studies in this area limits our understanding of how day-to-day interpersonal experiences relate to the global interpersonal impairments observed among individuals with NSSI, and vice versa. This study compared young adults with (n = 60) and without (n = 56) recent, repeated NSSI on baseline and daily measures of interpersonal functioning during a 14-day daily diary study. Groups differed in baseline social anxiety, excessive reassurance seeking, and use of support seeking relative to other coping strategies, but did not differ in self-perceived interpersonal competence. In terms of day-to-day functioning, participants with (vs. without) NSSI had significantly less contact with their families and friends, perceived less support following interactions with friends, and were less likely to seek support to cope, regardless of level of negative affect. With the exception of contact with family members, these group differences in daily interpersonal functioning were accounted for by baseline levels of social anxiety and use of support seeking. Contrary to expectations, participants with NSSI had more frequent contact with their romantic partners, did not differ in perceptions of support in romantic relationships, and did not report more intense negative affect following negative interpersonal interactions. This study provides a novel test of recent interpersonal theories of NSSI using daily reports.Keywords nonsuicidal self-injury; self-harm; social support; experience sampling; daily diary Address correspondence to Brianna J.

CIHR Author Manuscript CIHR Author Manuscript CIHR Author ManuscriptAlthough nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) has been recognized for decades as a serious clinical problem due to its associations with psychopathology, suicidality, and functional impairment (Glenn & Klonsky, 2013;Selby, Bender, Gordon, Nock, & Joiner, 2011), recent evidence suggests that NSSI is also associated with impairments in interpersonal functioning. Compared to individuals without a history of NSSI, those with NSSI report pervasive interpersonal problems, including poorer quality relationships with peers and caregivers (Claes, Houben, Vandereycken, Bijttebier, & Muehlenkamp, 2010;Gratz, Conrad, & Roemer, 2002;Hilt, Nock, Lloyd-Richardson, & Prinstein, 2008;Hoff & Muehlenkamp, 2009), greater loneliness (Giletta, Scholte, Engels, Ciairano, & Prinstein, 2012;Glenn & Klonsky, 2013;Guertin, Lloyd-Richardson, Spirito, Donaldson, & Boergers, 2001), higher rate...

“…History of NSSI was assessed with the Deliberate Self-harm Inventory (Gratz, 2001), a 17-item questionnaire assessing the presence, frequency, severity, onset and recency of 17 different methods of NSSI. The Spearman-Brown coefficient of this measure was CO-OCCURRING NON-SUICIDAL SELF-INJURY AND DISORDERED EATING 9 low (0.58), likely due to the variability in endorsement of different methods of NSSI in this sample.…”

Although research has explored between-person traits that may account for the high rates of cooccurrence between non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and disordered eating (DE), little is known about within-person processes that predict which behavior occurs and when. This study describes the socioemotional contexts of NSSI and DE behaviors during a naturalistic, two-week daily diary period. Young adults (aged 18-35) who reported ≥ 1 episode of NSSI and ≥ 1 episode of DE (binge eating, purging, or fasting) during the two-week monitoring period were included (N = 25). NSSI and DE co-occurred approximately one third of the time. NSSI occurred following a greater number of interpersonal stressors and specific negative emotions, compared to DE.Participants were more likely to act on NSSI thoughts following arguments and feelings of rejection. They were more likely to act on binge eating/purging thoughts after eating or watching television, and when they felt self-hatred. They were more likely to act on fasting thoughts after discussing upsetting memories, and when they were in a public setting. NSSI days were also marked by more intense negative mood in the evenings relative to fasting days, and greater fatigue in the morning relative to binge eating/purging days. This study underscores the utility of using experience sampling methods to develop and test within-person models to advance our understanding of co-occurring behaviors.

Despite historical concerns about the validity of the construct of borderline personality disorder (BPD) in adolescence, there is now general consensus that BPD in adolescence constitutes a valid and reliable diagnosis. Yet the development and refinement of measures to assess borderline traits in adolescents is in its infancy. Moreover, brief and easy-to-administer measures of borderline traits for use in large-scale studies do not exist. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the Borderline Personality Features Scale for Children (BPFSC; Crick, Murray-Close, & Woods, 2005) and develop a short version of the BPFSC through the use of item response theory (IRT) methods. BPFSC data from a community sample of 964 adolescents (mean age ϭ 15.1 years, SD ϭ .79; 55.9% female) were used to examine the factor structure of the BPFSC. The hypothesized 4-factor structure was not supported. The unidimensional IRT analysis showed instances of local dependence among item pairs and item responses that were not strongly related to the underlying construct. As a consequence, items were eliminated, creating a unidimensional 11-item brief BPFSC (the BPFSC-11). Next, evidence of construct validity of scores based on the shortened version was evaluated using a different sample of 371 inpatient adolescents. We demonstrated similar indices of construct validity as observed for the BPFSC total score with the BPFSC-11 scores and found evidence for good criterion validity. Use of the BPFSC-11 in clinical settings will reduce the burden on respondents without loss of information.
