Self-directed disgust, a component of self-criticism, may present an important, yet unexplored emotion in the context of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). The aim of this study was to examine the role of self-disgust in NSSI, specifically as a potential mediator in the relations between depression and NSSI as well as sexual abuse and NSSI, and to also better understand characteristics that might differentiate recent and past self-injurers. A total of 549 college students completed measures assessing NSSI, self-disgust, depression, anxiety sensitivity, and physical and sexual abuse. Results indicated self-disgust fully mediated the relation between depressive symptoms and NSSI status and partially mediated the relation between sexual abuse and NSSI status. Additionally, compared to past self-injurers (4.6%; n = 25), recent self-injurers (6.4%; n = 35) endorsed significantly higher self-disgust and depressive symptoms. Self-disgust may be an important component in NSSI and should be addressed in treatment.
自我导向的厌恶是自我批评的一个组成部分，在非自杀性自伤（NSSI）的背景下，它可能是一种重要但尚未被探索的情绪。本研究的目的是检验自我厌恶在NSSI中的作用，特别是作为抑郁与NSSI以及性虐待与NSSI之间关系的潜在中介，并更好地理解可能区分近期和既往自伤行为者的特征。共有549名大学生完成了评估NSSI、自我厌恶、抑郁、焦虑敏感性以及身体和性虐待的测量。结果表明，自我厌恶完全中介了抑郁症状与NSSI状态之间的关系，并部分中介了性虐待与NSSI状态之间的关系。此外，与既往自伤行为者（4.6%；n = 25）相比，近期自伤行为者（6.4%；n = 35）的自我厌恶和抑郁症状显著更高。自我厌恶可能是NSSI中的一个重要组成部分，在治疗中应予以关注。
