A multimethod analysis of impulsivity in nonsuicidal self-injury.
Abstract
Impulsivity has been proposed as an important construct in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). Yet, research on the relationship of impulsivity to NSSI has been mixed. The present study clarified this relationship using a multifaceted measure of impulsivity (i.e., UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale), and a computer-based behavioral measure of inhibitory control (i.e., a stop-signal task). Participants were 82 confirmed self-injurers and 86 controls recruited from a college population. Self-injurers and controls performed similarly on the stop-signal task. On the UPPS, self-injurers were best distinguished by Urgency (committing rash decisions when faced with negative emotions), and distinguished to a lesser degree by lack of Premeditation (inability to delay action in order to plan) and Sensation Seeking (seeking excitement and adventure). Among self-injurers, lack of Perseverance (inability to stay with a task through completion) predicted more recent and frequent NSSI. Conceptual and clinical implications are discussed.

“In addition, consistent with previous research that self-injurers exhibit poorer planning than noninjurers (Evans et al., 1996; Hawton et al., 2002; Herpertz et al., 1997), it is predicted that self-injurers will exhibit less Premeditation than noninjurers.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
