Predicting Non-Suicidal Self-Injury: Examining the Interplay between Rumination and Impulsivity in Two Psychiatric Samples

In the present study, neither impulsivity, rumination, nor their interaction predicted non-suicidal-self-injury presence six months following discharge in two psychiatrically hospitalized samples. Given these findings, it is possible that the interplay between these factors in predicting non-suicidal-self-injury may occur for emotion-driven impulsivity rather than tendencies towards impulsivity broadly.
