The present study was designed to examine the extent to which perfectionism and social problem solving add to the prediction model of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), independent of suicide risk, in a sample of 386 ethnoracially diverse college students. Moreover, the authors were interested in whether social problem solving, beyond perfectionism, would account for additional variance in their prediction model. Results indicated that social problem solving did account for significant variance in the prediction model of NSSI, above and beyond perfectionism. Moreover, on controlling for suicide risk, a possible confound for NSSI behaviors, social problem solving was found to account for an additional 4.0 percent of unique variance in the prediction of NSSI, beyond that accounted for by perfectionism. The present findings have theoretical implications for the literature on perfectionism and social problem solving, specifically in relation to NSSI. In addition, the present findings have practical implications for social workers who work with college students engaging in NSSI behaviors.
本研究旨在考察完美主义和社会问题解决能力在多大程度上能够预测非自杀性自伤（NSSI），而不考虑自杀风险，研究对象为 386 名不同种族的大学生。此外，作者还感兴趣的是，在预测模型中，除了完美主义之外，社会问题解决是否会解释更多的差异。结果表明，社会问题解决确实能解释 NSSI 预测模型中的显著差异，而不仅仅是完美主义。此外，在控制自杀风险（NSSI 行为的一个可能混杂因素）后，发现社会问题解决在预测 NSSI 方面的独特方差增加了 4.0%，这超过了完美主义所解释的方差。本研究结果对完美主义和社会问题解决方面的文献具有理论意义，特别是与 NSSI 相关的文献。此外，本研究结果对与从事 NSSI 行为的大学生一起工作的社会工作者具有实际意义。
