Abstract

Research has linked self-harming behaviors with aggression towards others. We examined this in people with a history of NSSI, people with NSSI+Suicidality, and non-self-harming controls. Findings suggest important differences across these groups with respect to aggressive tendencies, feelings of interpersonal victimization and desire for revenge after receiving negative feedback.
