Restrictive eating and nonsuicidal self-injury in a nonclinical sample: Co-occurrence and associations with emotion dysregulation and interpersonal problems

This study examined cross-sectional associations between self-reported restrictive eating, NSSI, and putative mechanisms of emotion regulation and interpersonal problems in a non-clinical sample of undergraduate students (N  = 98, 80.6% female), using the Dietary Restriction Screener (Haynos& Fruzzetti, 2015), Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory (Gratz, 2001), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (Gratz& Roemer, 2006), and Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-Personality Disorders-25 (Kim& Pilkonis, 1999).
