Description
Skin-picking disorder (SPD) is an obsessive compulsive related disorder (OCRD) that is most common among adolescents and emerging adults. Past research has connected SPD to emotion regulation difficulties and parental autonomy support. However no past studies have looked at the relationship between these variables together. The current study aims to amend this gap in the literature. Data from 225 undergraduate students found that emotion regulation difficulties mediates the relationship between mother and father autonomy support, and SPD symptoms. These findings indicate that among college students, a lack of parental autonomy support may lead to SPD symptoms through emotion regulation difficulties.
