Abstract

Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a maladaptive coping strategy that is of significant clinical concern for behavioral health professionals in college settings. Relationships between NSSI, acquired capability for suicide, interpersonal cognitions, and five-factor model personality traits were assessed in a survey-based study that included 192 young adults in a college setting.

RESULTS indicated that those with an affirmative suicide attempt history, greater acquired capability for suicide, and elevated neuroticism had an increased likelihood of lifetime NSSI. © 2020 by the American Counseling Association. All rights reserved.
