Abstract EN
This study assessed the extent and nature of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) among 165 students attending an all-women’s college.
Associations between NSSI behaviors and demographics, borderline personality disorder (BPD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and attachment styles were investigated.
Statistically significant relationships between the severity of NSSI and demographic characteristics and BPD and PTSD were explored using bivariate analysis.
Within this population, presence of NSSI behavior was significantly associated with age, years in college, nonheterosexual orientation, BPD, PTSD, and preoccupied attachment styles.
There were also marginally significant associations with race and financial status.
Severity of NSSI behaviors was significantly associated with age, years in college, BPD pathology, and primary parent’s level of education.
A logistic regression analysis was developed that predicted NSSI behavior with 67% accuracy based on these findings.
This study has implications for clinical practice.
