“…Students who are bullied also typically lack effective social problem-solving skills (Biggam & Power, 1999), a deficit that can impair their ability to respond effectively when bullied. Students who react passively (Schwartz, Dodge, & Coie, 1993) or aggressively (Kochenderfer & Ladd, 1997) to bullying are victimized more often, longer, and more seriously.…”

“…A further aim of the study was to consider possible cognitive mechanisms underlying any cultural differences. Research has identified associations between self-harming behaviour and the use of avoidance and emotion-focussed coping styles, rather than active coping (Biggam & Power, 1999;Dear et al, 2006;Haines & Williams, 1997;Hawton & Rodham, 2006;Kirchner & Mohino, 2003). Chapman, Gratz, and Brown (2006) have further proposed that self-harmers have a particularly strong tendency towards avoidant behaviour, linked to impulsivity, low tolerance of emotional arousal and distress, and poor skills in expressing and managing emotions.…”

Previous studies of ethnic and cultural differences in self-harm have focussed on overdose and suicide attempts by South Asian women. Research comparing ethnic groups has rarely examined religion or nationality. To achieve a more balanced approach this study examined self-harm methods and self-injury across gender, religion and ethnic group in a non-clinical population. Six hundred and seventeen university students completed a questionnaire asking whether they had ever harmed themselves, and the frequency and method of any self-harm. White participants and participants with no religious affiliation were more likely to report repeated incidents of self-harm, mainly scratching and cutting skin. Hindu religion was associated with lower levels of repeated self-harm. Asian males were less likely to report self-harm than both Asian females and other males. Black students were less likely to report cutting and scored highest on Rational coping style. The results raise questions about differential disclosure of self-harm across gender and culture.

“…Research on coping styles has suggested that people who self-harm repeatedly are more likely to report using avoidance and emotion-focussed coping rather than rational or detached coping (Biggam & Power, 1999;Haines & Williams, 1997;Hawton & Rodham, 2006;Kirchner & Mohino, 2003) although as much of this research is derived from prisoners it is unclear whether respondents lack appropriate coping skills or are unable to implement them in these restricted and stressful settings (Dear et al, 2006). Another factor to be considered is rumination, defined as selffocussed, persistent, recurrent negative thinking (Roelofs et al, 2007).…”
