“…Specifically, substance use allows an individual to escape from socioaffective pain or the physiological pain associated with substance use withdrawal (Baker et al, 2004;Chassin et al, 2016;Koob & Le Moal, 2001). Individuals who engage in NSSI also endorse features that are central to the phenomenology of substance use disorders, including a persistent desire to reduce the frequency of NSSI and having engaged in more severe forms of NSSI than they had intended (Buser et al, 2017;Guérin-Marion et al, 2018;Nixon et al, 2002;Tan et al, 2019). Beyond shared risk factors and functional consequences, longitudinal studies have found that adolescents who engage in self-injurious behaviors are more likely to engage in excessive substance use and die from drug-related causes in adulthood (Beckman et al, 2019;Bjureberg et al, 2019;Borschmann et al, 2017;Herbert et al, 2017).…”

Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI)—deliberate self-harm without the intent to die—is a high-risk and impairing behavior associated with long-term morbidity and mortality risks. The prevalence of NSSI escalates in adolescence, indicating a sensitive developmental period for the emergence of this behavior. Neurobiological, interpersonal, and affective processes leading to NSSI have been proposed. However, the link between neurodevelopment and the emergence of NSSI in adolescence remains unclear. Therefore, in this review, we integrate a diverse literature of human and animal studies that have examined features of NSSI and identify two neurodevelopmental mechanisms that increase risk of NSSI in adolescence: sensitivity to socioaffective pain and reward. We propose a two-step process in which neurodevelopmental sensitivity exacerbates socioaffective risk pathways leading to the onset of NSSI and strengthens the maintenance of self-harm in adolescence. We discuss implications of this theoretical framework for improving prevention and intervention strategies by capitalizing on developmental sensitivity in potentiating mechanisms.

“…It is one of the most important tools to reduce depression and other negative emotions. Guerin-Marion et al revealed that more impaired ER functions were associated with more frequent lifetime NSSI [ 19 ]. According to the process model of emotion regulation put forward by Gross, cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression are two common ER strategies [ 20 ].…”

Background: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior among college students is a focus of attention in current society. In the information era, the Internet serves as a public health concern and as an effective pathway for prevention. In order to reduce NSSI behavior, we explore its influence factors, especially the relations between neuroticism, emotion regulation (ER), depression, and NSSI behavior. Methods: A total of 450 college students were surveyed with the Big Five Inventory-2, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Self-Rating Depression Scale, and Adolescent Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Assessment Questionnaire. Results: Regression analysis showed that neuroticism significantly negatively predicted emotion regulation, while it positively predicted depression and NSSI. Multiple mediation modeling demonstrated that neuroticism and emotion regulation had no significant direct effects on NSSI. However, neuroticism could indirectly affect NSSI through four pathways of multiple mediating effects, including depression, cognitive reappraisal-depression, expressive suppression-depression, and cognitive reappraisal-expressive suppression-depression. Conclusions: Neuroticism positively predicts depression and NSSI behavior, and affects NSSI through the mediating effect of ER and depression. Therefore, amelioration of neuroticism from the perspectives of emotion regulation and depression is recommended, so as to reduce NSSI behavior among college students with highly neurotic personalities.

“…Impulsivity is also a common correlate of NSSI in adults (Glenn & Klonsky, 2010, 2011; McCloskey et al, 2012; Mullins-Sweatt et al, 2013). Sensation seeking, or the propensity for novel experiences and the willingness to take risks for such experiences (Whiteside & Lynam, 2001), is related to both NSSI engagement ( d = 0.35; Glenn & Klonsky, 2010) and lifetime frequency ( d = 0.63; Guérin-Marion et al, 2018).…”

The Benefits and Barriers model of NSSI postulates that engagement in NSSI is positively reinforced by potent benefits, however there are a host of barriers to engagement, any one of which is salient enough to prevent engagement. It is possible that individual differences in sensation seeking, a trait that describes optimal level of positive reinforcement, may alter the balance between the benefits and barriers of engagement in NSSI. There are significant associations between engagement in NSSI and sensation seeking in college undergraduates, a population with disproportionately high rates of NSSI. However, it is unclear whether these traits play a similar role in adolescents. We expected that higher levels of sensation seeking would positively relate to any NSSI history, lifetime frequency of NSSI, and earlier age at onset of NSSI among a sample of 200 adolescents in a psychiatric hospital. Consistent with previous research, results indicated that females were more likely to engage in NSSI than males. Additionally, increased sensation seeking was associated with greater likelihood of ever engaging in NSSI and a greater number of different NSSI methods tried. Though we expected sensation seeking would be significantly related to lifetime NSSI frequency and earlier onset of NSSI, it was not. Findings suggest that individual differences may alter relations between the benefits and barriers of NSSI and that measuring sensation seeking in adolescents, especially females, and especially those experiencing psychological distress, may identify those at highest risk for engaging in NSSI and may allow for targeted intervention with these individuals.
