abstract="Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and disordered eating (DE) are highly comorbid and may be regarded as belonging to a spectrum of self-harm behaviors. We investigated self-criticism as a transdiagnostic correlate of these behaviors, in keeping with etiological theories of both NSSI and DE. We reviewed the literature and meta-analyzed the relation of self-criticism to both NSSI (15 studies; 17 effect sizes) and DE (24 studies; 29 effect sizes). <br><br>RESULTS showed equivalent, moderate-to-large effects for the relation of self-criticism to NSSI (r = .38; CI:.29-.46) and DE (r = .40; CI:.34-.45). The relation of NSSI to self-criticism generalized across multiple potential moderators. DE behavior type moderated the relation of self-criticism to DE, with a stronger relation emerging for purging than restriction. <br><br>FINDINGS support self-criticism as a possible candidate for transdiagnostic pathways to self-harm.<br><br>© 2018 The American Association of Suicidology.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
