The Interplay of Borderline Personality Features, Emotion Regulation and Parenting Styles in Early Adulthood
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is marked by emotional instability, identity disturbances and interpersonal difficulties. While deficits in emotion regulation (ER) and parenting styles are associated with BPD, their combined impact on specific BPD features remains unclear. This study used network analysis to explore the complex associations between parenting styles, ER strategies and specific BPD features in a sample of 1289 undergraduate s…
Social exposure and perceived public stigma toward nonsuicidal self-injury
Measurement invariance of the anxious protection subscale the short version of the multidimensional overprotective parenting scale (AP-s-Mops) in Chinese and Belgian adolescents
A benchmarking study of mindful self-compassion and acceptance and commitment therapy for Self-compassion and psychological Well-being
Unraveling the Network of Relationships Between Non-suicidal Self-Injury and Substance Abuse Among College Students
The transactional relationship between over‐parenting and non‐suicidal self‐injury among Chinese and Belgian adolescents
Previous cross-sectional studies have linked over-parenting to adolescent non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), but within-person associations, especially across cultures, remain unexplored. This study investigated the transactional association between over-parenting and NSSI among Chinese (N = 596, M age = 15.05, SD age = 1.27) and Belgian (N = 213, M age = 14.22, SD age = 1.57) adolescents using a random-intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) …
Who fits the glass slipper? Adolescent dispositional profiles and their link with instant messaging social support and mental health
Although instant messaging (IM) is generally perceived as beneficial for adolescents, the effects seem to be individual-specific. Building on the poor-get-richer and rich-get-richer hypotheses that theorize about whom benefits from IM, we constructed dispositional profiles and compared them in terms of perceived IM social support and mental health correlates. A latent profile analysis (n = 1014) identified four dispositional profiles on the basis…
Effects of a Whole-School Prevention Program Targeting Mental Health and Nonsuicidal Self-Injury in Swedish Adolescents
Rising rates of mental health problems and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) among adolescents highlight the need for preventive interventions and the lack of evidence regarding such measures. To date, few studies have investigated school-based prevention programs targeting NSSI. In this study, a whole-school preventive intervention was carried out at Swedish lower secondary schools and evaluated in a cluster-randomized controlled trial. The whole-s…
Interplay Between Perceived Parenting Practices, Emotion Regulation and Adolescents’ Mental Health Symptoms
Adolescence is marked by heightened emotional challenges and significant shifts in emotion regulation (ER), which can lead to various mental health symptoms. The influence of perceived parenting practices is pivotal in determining whether adolescents adopt adaptive or maladaptive ER strategies. This longitudinal study investigates the relationships between perceived parenting practices, ER modes, and mental health symptoms in adolescents. Specifi…
Nonsuicidal self‐injury in elementary schools
Previous research suggests that nonsuicidal self‐injury (NSSI; the intentional destruction of bodily tissue without suicidal intent) occurs among elementary‐aged children. However, it remains unclear to what extent elementary school educators encounter NSSI among students and how they respond. Therefore, this study investigated cross‐national differences in Canadian and Belgian elementary school educators' knowledge of, and experience with NSSI a…
Adolescents’ experiences of a whole-school preventive intervention addressing mental health and nonsuicidal self-injury
Adolescents generally perceived addressing mental health and NSSI in schools as important. Help-seeking initiatives need to be balanced against adolescents' need for autonomy when planning mental health prevention and intervention
School-based recommendations for addressing nonsuicidal self-injury
Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) has emerged as a common and serious concern in school settings.Up to one in five students report having self-injured and continued NSSI engagement is associated with a multitude of mental health difficulties.Moreover, NSSI uniquely and significantly exacerbates the risk of death by suicide.Despite this, many schools report having limited resources to address NSSI among students, with staff often feeling underequippe…
Predictors and consequences of non‐suicidal self‐injury in relation to life, peer, and school factors
INTRODUCTION: Numerous life, peer, and school-related factors have been found to be associated with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among adolescents; however, most studies have not explored the possible reciprocal nature of these associations. The aim of the current study was to examine bidirectional and longitudinal associations between NSSI and several life, peer, and school-related factors (i.e., stressful life events, peer relationships, aca…
Developing a Policy, and Professional Development for School Staff, to Address and Respond to Nonsuicidal Self-Injury in Schools
Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) can be a perplexing behavior: Why would someone deliberately damage their body to feel relief? Often starting in early adolescence, up to 1 in 5 high school students report engaging in the behavior. School staff (principals, teachers, and mental health professionals) are understandably concerned and have been calling for clear guidelines regarding how best to address and respond to NSSI. Based on the current evidenc…
School-Based Prevention Targeting Non-Suicidal Self-injury
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is prevalent in adolescence and is associated with increased risk for a variety of subsequent negative mental health outcomes, necessitating an evidence-based preventive approach. This pilot study examines the potential iatrogenic effects and feasibility of an evidence-based school program for the prevention of NSSI. Differences are examined between a general in-classroom prevention program (Happyles) and this prog…
Age of onset of non-suicidal self-injury in Dutch-speaking adolescents and emerging adults
I Do Want to Stop, At Least I Think I Do”
Phenomenological and cultural understandings of recovery from the perspective of individuals who engage in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) are rare. The primary study objective was to understand similarities across three samples in (a) how young people define recovery from NSSI and (b) what they consider helpful approaches taken by parents and professionals to assist their recovery. Using a cross-national sample of young people ( n = 98) from Aust…
Is Nonsuicidal Self-Injury Associated With Parenting and Family Factors
The present study investigates the association of parenting and family factors with nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) in preadolescents. A sample of 1,439 preadolescents and their parents were assessed by means of (a) adolescent-reported parenting behaviors (support and behavioral/psychological control), (b) parent-reported parenting behaviors (support and behavioral/psychological control) and parenting stress, and (c) parent-reported family structu…
