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

et al. 2017

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...

“…In the 30-item English version version (Watson & Friend, 1969), a retest reliability of r = .78 was achieved. Lending validity to the scale Watson and Friend (1969) found that "individuals high on [fear of negative evaluation] became nervous in evaluative conditions, and seemed to seek social approval" and that the scale "showed correlations with other relevant measures" (p. 456).…”

Stigma-Related Stress and Its Correlates Among Men with Pedophilic Sexual Interests

et al. 2015

Despite decades of research on the adverse consequences of stereotyping and discrimination for many stigmatized groups, little is known about how people with pedophilia perceive and react to stigma. In this article, we present a framework that outlines how stigma-related stress might negatively affect emotional and social areas of functioning, cognitive distortions, and the motivation to pursue therapy, all of which may contribute to an increased risk of sexual offending. We tested our hypotheses in an online survey among self-identified Germanspeaking people with pedophilia (N = 104) using a wide range of validated indicators of social and emotional functioning (Brief Symptom Inventory-53, UCLA Loneliness Scale, Emotion Subscale of the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations, Fear of Negative Evaluation-5, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale). Specific risk factors such as self-efficacy, cognitive distortions and the motivation to seek treatment were also assessed. In line with our hypotheses, fear of discovery generally predicted reduced social and emotional functioning.Contrary to our predictions, perceived social distance and fear of discovery were not linked to self-efficacy, cognitive distortions, or treatment motivation. Results were controlled for the effects of confounding variables (e.g, age, educational level, social desirability, relationship status). We critically evaluate the empirical contribution of this study to research on stigma and child sex offenses, including a discussion of the results in light of the potential indirect effects that public stigma may have on the overall risk for sexual offenses.

“…Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (FNE; (Watson and Friend, 1969): The 30-item FNE is a broadly validated and carefully-studied self-report measure designed to evaluate apprehension about being negatively evaluated by others, a core feature of social anxiety (Orsillo, 2001;Rodebaugh et al, 2004). In prior research, estimates of internal consistency reliability have been high (KR-20 = 0.83 -.93) (Rodebaugh et al, 2004).…”

Recent evidence suggests that normal-range paranoid ideation may be particularly likely to arise in individuals disposed to both social anxiety and perceptual anomalies. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that among college students in an unselected sample, social anxiety and experience of perceptual anomalies would not only each independently predict the experience of self-reported paranoid ideation, but would also interact to predict paranoid patterns of thought. A diverse sample of 644 students completed a large battery of self-report measures, as well as the five-factor Paranoia/Suspiciousness Questionnaire (PSQ). We conducted hierarchical multiple regression analyses predicting scores on each PSQ factor from responses on measures of social anxiety, perceptual aberration, and the interaction between the two constructs.Current general negative affect was covaried in all analyses. We found that both social anxiety and perceptual aberrations, along with negative affect, predicted multiple dimensions of paranoia as measured by the PSQ; the two constructs did not, however, interact significantly to predict any dimensions. Our findings suggest that perceptual aberration and anxiety may contribute to normal-range paranoid ideation in an additive rather than an interactive manner.
