First evaluation of the emotional picture set of self-injury images (EPSI) using psychophysiological and self-report measures
This initial evidence suggests that EPSI elicits distinct emotional responses and may serve as a valid measure for studying the process of NSSI. Future research could investigate the EPSI as a standardized measure, particularly in patients with NSSI and borderline personality disorder, to validate its clinical utility and gain insight into its psychophysiological mechanisms.
