“…In particular, NSSI has been linked to deficits in emotion regulation (Adrian, Zeman, Erdley, Lisa, & Sim, 2011; Martin, Bureau, Yurkowski, Lafontaine, & Cloutier, 2016), high negative emotionality (Glenn, Blumenthal, Klonsky, & Hajcak, 2011; Najmi, Wegner, & Nock, 2007; Nock & Mendes, 2008; Plener, Bubalo, Fladung, Ludolph, & Lulé, 2012), and ruminative tendencies (Selby, Franklin, Carson-Wong, & Rizvi, 2013; Voon, Hasking, & Martin, 2014; Zaki, Coifman, Rafaeli, Berenson, & Downey, 2013). Thus, research and theory support the hypothesis that preoccupied (but not dismissing) attachment states of mind regarding both childhood caregivers and adult romantic partners should be associated with NSSI.…”
