Abstract: (34 Views)
This research aimed to investigate the relationship between the severity of Non-suicidal self-injury and subcomponents of difficulty in emotion regulation. The research method was descriptive and correlational. The study community included women aged 18-50 from Tehran City with NSSI in 2023-2024, among whom 20 individuals were selected as samples using convenience sampling. Research questionnaires included: Form and Function of Self-Injury Scale (FAFSI) by Jenkins et al. (2011) and the Difficulty Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) by Gratz and Roemer (2004). Given the limited sample size and the potential for multicollinearity among the independent variables, ridge regression was used as the analysis method in this study. Findings showed that the Difficulty engaging in goal-directed behavior and the Difficulty with impulse control positively and significantly predict the components of NSSI severity. According to the findings, interventions can be designed and implemented to improve goal-directed behavior and impulse control, thereby reducing the severity of NSSI.
