The emotion regulation motive of nonsuicidal self-injury mediates the relationship between motor impulsivity and NSSI frequency in adolescents
The study demonstrates that higher motor impulsivity is associated with a greater likelihood of engaging in weekly and daily NSSI, with emotion regulation motive significantly mediating this relationship. This highlights the need for interventions targeting impulsivity and emotion regulation to address NSSI behaviours in this population effectively.
