“…Class 2 demonstrates coping with negative emotions through NSSI that may maintain the behaviour, and this group may benefit from learning diverse coping strategies. Although there has yet to be a forerunner for effective treatment of repetitive self‐harm, common elements across treatment models that have shown promise for individuals such as those in Class 3 who struggle with emotional awareness, impulsivity and interpersonal deficits include emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to build greater acceptance of uncomfortable emotions (Linehan, 1993), mindfulness practice to reduce impulsivity (Dixon et al, 2019) and skills training to strengthen interpersonal bonding and family relationships such as communication training, problem‐solving and/or conflict management (Hetrick, Robinson, Spittal, & Carter, 2016; Turner et al, 2014). Given that individuals are at highest risk shortly after hospital discharge, early intensive treatment may be necessary during this high‐risk period to minimize this risk following discharge (Glenn, Franklin, & Nock, 2015).…”

Nonsuicidal self-injury(NSSI) is a behavioural concern and can present in diverse ways, varying by method, frequency, severity, function and so forth. The possible combinations of these features of NSSI produce an array of profiles that makes evaluation and management of this behaviour challenging. The aim of this study was to build upon previous work that reduces the heterogeneity of NSSI patterns by using latent class analysis (LCA) to identify a typology of NSSI. Participants consisted of 235 outpatients aged 14-35 years attending a tertiary psychiatric hospital in Singapore who had reported at least one NSSI behaviour within the last year. Eight indicators captured using the Functional Assessment of Self-Mutilation were used in the LCA: frequency of NSSI, length of contemplation before engaging in NSSI, usage of more than three NSSI methods, suicidal ideation and four psychological functions of NSSI, that is, social-positive, social-negative, automatic-positive and automatic-negative. The LCA revealed three distinct groups: Class 1-Experimental/Mild NSSI, Class 2-Multiple functions NSSI/Low Suicide Ideation and Class 3-Multiplefunctions NSSI/Possible Suicide Ideation. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the associations between class membership and sociodemographic variables as well as measures of emotion dysregulation, childhood trauma, depression and quality of life. Females were overrepresented in Class 3. In general, Class 3 had the poorest scores followed by Class 2. Our analyses suggest that different NSSI subtypes require different treatment indications. Profiling patterns of NSSI may be a potentially useful step in guiding treatment plans and strategies.

“…Counselor supervisors providing clinical supervision to counselors working with undergraduates could encourage supervisees to monitor clients for impulsivity. Strategies that may be useful in addressing impulsivity include psychoeducation regarding impulsivity and the implications of impulsive behavior, cognitive‐behavioral interventions (Grant et al., 2011), goal management training (Anderson et al., 2021), acceptance and commitment therapy (Morrison et al., 2020), brief mindfulness‐based strategies (Dixon et al., 2019), and consideration of one's readiness to change (Kazemi et al., 2011). Counselors may additionally engage in outreach to educate students about strategies for addressing impulsivity and ensure all students are aware of services available on campus and locally.…”

The goal of this research was to explore psychological distress (i.e., depression, anxiety, and stress) and impulsivity as predictors of problematic alcohol use (PAU) among 481 undergraduate college students between the ages of 18 and 25. The results showed that only impulsivity was predictive of PAU. Controlling for other factors in the model, for every one-unit increase in impulsivity score, the odds were 2.3 times greater that participants would engage in PAU. Implications for counselors and stakeholders are discussed.

“…Repeated mental training activities are known to benefit the efficiency of attentional processing (van den Hurk et al, 2010;Becerra et al, 2017), attentionrelated behavioral responses (Jha et al, 2007), and to affect neurophysiological measures of executive attention, such as the event-related potential P3 (Lin et al, 2019). Further, MM seems to increase the efficiency of cognitive control and conflict monitoring (Larson et al, 2013;Jo et al, 2017), to improve self-regulation (Tang et al, 2007;Friese and Hofmann, 2016;Kaunhoven and Dorjee, 2017), emotion regulation (Teper et al, 2013;Roemer et al, 2015;Tang et al, 2016), self-control (Bowlin and Baer, 2012;Friese et al, 2012), and to reduce impulsivity Rasmussen, 2013, 2017;Yao et al, 2017;Dixon et al, 2019).…”

This perspective article provides an overview of the impact of mindfulness meditation (MM) on social and moral behavior. In mindfulness research, prosocial behavior has been operationalized as helping behavior, altruistic redistribution of funds, reparative behavior, or monetary donation. Studies concerning moral behavior are still scarce. Despite inconsistent evidence, several studies found a beneficial effect of mindfulness on prosocial outcomes (i.e., a higher propensity to spend or give away money for the sake of other individuals). However, since the employed tasks were reward-based, participants’ decisions also directly affected their own payoff by reducing it. Crucially, MM also affects self-control circuitry and reduces reward-seeking behaviors and reward salience by making rewards less tempting. We have discussed evidence suggesting how challenging it may be to dissociate the specific weight of enhanced other-oriented motivation from one of the decreased monetary reward salience in explaining meditators’ behavior. Future higher-quality studies are needed to address this open issue.
