Description

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) risk in young adults is impacted by both affective and cognitive responses to stress. The current study examined individual differences in cognitive reactivity to stress and their relationship to NSSI. Participants completed a baseline questionnaire followed by a laboratory visit involving measures before and after a stress induction task. Analyses indicated that individuals who engage in NSSI reported more affective and cognitive reactivity to stress. Higher levels of affective and cognitive reactivity uniquely predicted NSSI. The combined model yielded mixed results, with higher levels of affective reactivity leading to lower levels of cognitive reactivity, while higher levels of cognitive reactivity predicted more NSSI.
