The Four-Function Model of Nonsuicidal Self-Injury (2014, methodology): “Methods of NSSI include cutting, scratching, burning, hitting, banging, and interfering with wound healing (Klonsky, 2011; Nock & Prinstein, 2004).”
The functions of deliberate self-injury: a review of the evidence. (2007, background): “In two studies of adolescent self-injurers, reasons related to an antidissociation function were endorsed by approximately one third of the participants (Laye-Gindhu & Schonert-Reichl, 2005; Nock & Prinstein, 2004 ).”
Understanding Emotion in Adolescents: A Review of Emotional Frequency, Intensity, Instability, and Clarity (2018, background): “Adolescents are more likely to engage in NSSI as emotional intensity and instability increase (Klonsky, 2007; Santangelo et al., 2017), perhaps in an effort to increase positive and decrease negative emotions (Nock & Prinstein, 2004).”
Contextual features and behavioral functions of self-mutilation among adolescents. (2005, methodology): “As supported by confirmatory factor analysis and reliability analyses (Nock & Prinstein, 2004) 21 of the items were placed into one of four subscales: automatic negative reinforcement (2 items: .62), automatic positive reinforcement (3 items; .69), social negative reinforcement (4 items: .76), and…”
