Beneath the surface: clinical and psychosocial correlates of posting nonsuicidal self-injury content online among female young adults

作者:

Highlights:

• Among individuals who engage NSSI, 27% had posted self-injurious content online (NSSI Online) while 73% had not (NSSI Only).

• Compared to the NSSI Only group, the NSSI Online group had greater clinical symptoms and lower psychosocial resources.

• Suicidal ideation was closely associated with the frequency of posting NSSI content online.

• Posting NSSI content online is a behavior that requires clinical attention, not an attention-seeking behavior.
