“…Despite these limitations, the current research provides a direct test of several key tenets of extant interpersonal models of NSSI (Nock, 2008;Prinstein et al, 2009;Yates, 2004). Consistent with these models, results suggest that individuals who engage in NSSI are less likely to perceive their interactions with peers as supportive and to seek support to cope with distress on a daily basis-differences that are accounted for by greater social anxiety and tendency to rely on intrapersonal (vs. interpersonal) coping strategies during times of distress.…”

“…Moreover, although interpersonal functions of NSSI were endorsed less frequently than intrapersonal functions of this behavior, both interpersonally oriented emotions (e.g., feeling rejected by and angry toward others) and intrapersonally oriented emotions (e.g., anger toward self, selfhatred) increased the odds of acting on NSSI thoughts . Similarly, although Snir and colleagues (2015) found that adults with borderline and avoidant (Nock, 2008;Prinstein et al, 2009;Yates, 2004). Examining day-to-day patterns of interpersonal experiences may help clarify whether the interpersonal problems relevant to NSSI are related to the quantity or quality of interpersonal behaviors.…”

“…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 rates of peer victimization (Giletta et al, 2012;Hilt et al, 2008), lower perceived support (Heath, Ross, Toste, Charlebois, & Nedecheva, 2009;Muehlenkamp, Brausch, Quigley, & Whitlock, 2013), and worse social problem-solving abilities (Nock & Mendes, 2008). Recent interpersonal theories of NSSI propose that interpersonal experiences may contribute to the development and maintenance of NSSI as both antecedents (e.g., rejection, conflict) and consequences (e.g., support) of this behavior (Nock, 2008(Nock, , 2009Prinstein, Guerry, Browne, & Rancourt, 2009;Yates, 2004). To date, however, the predominantly crosssectional nature of existing studies has limited our understanding of potential deficiencies in the day-to-day interpersonal functioning of people who engage in NSSI.…”

“…Several researchers have articulated interpersonal theories of NSSI (Nock, 2008(Nock, , 2009Prinstein et al, 2009;Yates, 2004). According to the social signaling hypothesis (Nock, 2008), NSSI is enacted when less intense and less costly behaviors, such as verbal communications of distress, have not been effective in achieving communicative goals due to poor signal quality or clarity or insufficiently responsive environments.…”

“…Thus, additional research is needed to clarify the daily interpersonal experiences (and potential interpersonal deficits) characteristic of individuals with (vs. without) NSSI. Combining micro-longitudinal and self-report methods can take an important next step in testing the relationship between daily interpersonal experiences and global interpersonal impairments suggested by recent interpersonal theories of NSSI (Nock, 2008;Prinstein et al, 2009;Yates, 2004). Examining day-to-day patterns of interpersonal experiences may help clarify whether the interpersonal problems relevant to NSSI are related to the quantity or quality of interpersonal behaviors.…”

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.

Introduction: Longitudinal research examining the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) school closures on the mental health of adolescents is scarce. Prolonged periods of physical and social isolation because of such restrictions may have impacted heavily on adolescents' mental health and loneliness. Methods: The current study addresses a major gap by examining the impact of school closures on the mental health and loneliness of 785, 10-to 17-year-old Western Australian adolescents (mean age = 14.1, SD = 1.31), who were surveyed across four time points: twice before COVID-19, once as schools closed, and once post reopening of schools. Pre-and post-COVID-19 changes in mental health and loneliness were compared using linear mixed models. Random intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPMs) assessed temporal associations between loneliness, depression symptoms, and positive mental wellbeing. Results: Compared with pre-COVID-19 symptom levels, there were significant increases in depression symptoms, internalizing and externalizing symptoms, and a significant decrease in positive mental wellbeing at different points over time. Symptom change over time differed according to gender and pre-COVID-19 symptom severity. Significant increases in positive attitudes towards being alone and feelings of isolation occurred at different points over time. Gender differences were evident. RI-CLPMs highlighted the predictive significance of friendship quality and having a negative attitude towards being alone over time in relation to depression symptoms. A positive or negative attitude towards being alone was predictive of positive mental wellbeing over time. Conclusion: Findings provide evidence that COVID-19-related school closures adversely affected adolescents' mental health and feelings of loneliness.Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) was declared a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, by the World Health Organisation (2020. Within days, the Western Australian (WA) government implemented disease containment measures to slow the potential spread of the virus. On March 24, 2020, the WA government initiated a phased border restriction policy, which within 2 weeks culminated in a "hard border," preventing persons from other Australian states or international countries entering WA. Already the most isolated capital city in the world, Perth was now effectively completely isolated. Parents were subsequently advised to keep their children at home as schools closed.
