abstract="OBJECTIVE: Despite increased use of behavioral analogues to identify casual mechanisms of self-injurious behavior (e.g. suicide attempts; non-suicidal self-injury), little is known about the impact on participants. The current study examined the impact of a specific behavior analogue, Self-Aggressive Paradigm (SAP), on participant affect. <br><br>METHODS: Community participants (n = 507) reported several affective ratings before and after completing SAP task procedures. <br><br>RESULTS: Following the SAP, participants reported reductions in nervousness and fear and increases in calmness and anger (d = .21). Participants with a current anxiety disorder reported greater increases in happiness; those with a suicide attempt history reported greater increases in sadness. <br><br>RESULTS: Findings demonstrate the SAP has no adverse mood effects, supporting its use in experimental research.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
