abstract="A measure was recently developed which assesses self-efficacy to resist NSSI across differing contexts. The aim of this study was to examine how self-efficacy to resist  NSSI across contexts interacts with NSSI-related outcome expectancies when  differentiating NSSI history. Participant: 501 Australian college students aged  17-40 years (M = 21.21, SD = 2.36). <br><br>METHOD: Participants completed online  questionnaires. <br><br>RESULTS: Self-efficacy to resist NSSI when in contexts considered to  be protective or of high risk moderated the relationships between NSSI-related  outcome expectancies and recent engagement in NSSI. Participants who expected NSSI  to result in communication were more likely to have recently engaged in NSSI if they  held weak self-efficacy to resist NSSI in protective contexts. Expecting NSSI to  result in diminished self-worth was protective against weak self-efficacy to resist  NSSI. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Results support the application of Social Cognitive Theory to NSSI  and provide future avenues for exploring NSSI-specific cognitions.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
