Summary: This study found that drive and reward responsiveness were positively associated with NSSI urge severity, while fun-seeking was not. However, no associations were found between these BAS facets and prospective NSSI urges. Therefore, cognitive risk states based on BAS constructs may increase NSSI risk on a momentary basis.

Summary: Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is an increasing concern in the healthcare community, recognized as a separate disorder from suicidal intent. This article provides an overview of NSSI, including risk factors, clinical assessment, and preventive efforts.

Summary: The study found significant associations between enduring and intense suicidal ideation and NSSI, as well as the presence of an anti-suicide function underlying NSSI engagement. The findings suggest the importance of intervention efforts targeting NSSI and suicidal thoughts and behaviors among adolescents at elevated suicide risk.

Summary: This research examined the prevalence of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) during the COVID-19 outbreak among junior high school students in Taiwan and identified psychosocial risk factors. The study found that the prevalence of NSSI was 40.9% during the COVID-19 outbreak. The results indicated that self-injurers were mostly female and scored higher in neuroticism, depression, impulsivity, alexithymia, virtual social support, and dissatisfaction with academic performance, while scoring lower in subjective well-being, self-esteem, actual social support, and family function. The logistic regression analysis revealed that high neuroticism, low self-esteem, high virtual social support, high impulsivity, and high alexithymia were independent predictors of NSSI.

Summary: This study aimed to define the psycho-behavioral profiles of young inpatients based on past or recent NSSI onset, and identify risk factors for maintaining NSSI over time. The findings revealed that a lack of social competencies was associated with recent NSSI onset. Affective disorders and social competencies were significant predictors, while school problems and alcohol/substance use were related to long-standing NSSI.

Summary: This article examines the proposed psychiatric diagnostic category of nonsuicidal self-injury disorder (NSSID) from the perspective of feminist psychiatric disability theory. It argues that a feminist psychiatric disability approach can shed light on the limitations of a completely demedicalized understanding of self-injury. The article also explores the implications of strategic identifications with illness labels for managing and accessing care, treatment, and recovery.

Summary: This study explores the neurophysiological correlates of self-referential processing in individuals with nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). The study found that individuals engaging in NSSI tend to rate negative adjectives as more relevant. Functional neuroimaging data analysis showed increased brain activity in the NSSI group in response to positive adjectives and different patterns of brain activity in response to negative self-referential stimuli compared to the control group. Furthermore, increased activity in the right inferior parietal lobe during positive self-referential processing was correlated with reduced suicidal ideation in the NSSI group.

Summary: With limited research on NSSID in military veterans, a study identified diagnostic predictors of NSSID within a veteran sample. Borderline personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder were found to be unique correlates of NSSID among veterans. The findings highlight the association between psychiatric disorders and lifetime NSSID in veterans, emphasizing obsessive-compulsive disorder as a risk factor.

Summary: This study aims to identify trajectories of stability and change in self-injury behavior from ages 13 to 17, as well as the interpersonal and intrapersonal factors that differentiate between these trajectories. The results reveal three trajectories: stable-low, low-increasing, and increasing-decreasing. Adolescents in the stable-low group had the best overall adjustment, while those in the increasing-decreasing group fared worse compared to the low-increasing group.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sleep regularity and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), and it found that sleep irregularity is associated with NSSI history and intensity of daily NSSI urges. The results showed that individuals with a repetitive NSSI history were more likely to experience sleep irregularity, and sleep irregularity was a factor contributing to increased intensity of daily NSSI urges.

Summary: This study aimed to translate the Inventory of Statements About Self-Injury (ISAS) into Russian and evaluate its psychometric properties in a sample of patients with non-psychotic mental disorders and suicidal ideation (SI). The results showed that the Interpersonal functions of NSSI were associated with more severe depressive symptoms, NSSI history, number of NSSI methods, likelihood of future NSSI, and psychoticism.

Summary: Understanding the impact of human behavior on disease spread is crucial for mitigating outbreak severity. Researchers designed an experimental game to simulate decision-making in a swine facility during an outbreak and found a correlation between participants' risk attitudes and compliance with biosecurity protocol. However, using a multiple price list risk assessment did not accurately predict observed game behavior. Experimental games have the potential to provide insights into human behavior through complex decision mechanisms and dynamic signals.

Summary: Sexual minority females have higher rates of NSSI and thwarted belonginess compared to heterosexual females, which may contribute to the higher rates of suicide attempts among sexual minorities.

Summary: The study found that repetitive NSSI is associated with increased behavioral compulsivity and disadvantageous decision making, but not with behavioral impulsivity. Future research should continue investigating how neurocognitive phenotypes contribute to the onset and maintenance of NSSI.

Summary: The study found that suicide planning and suicide ideation significantly increased the likelihood of adolescents engaging in non-suicidal self-injury. The co-occurrence of alcohol and cannabis use also increased the odds of self-injury on specific days.
