Self-injurious behaviors were compared with tattooing and piercing in a college population. Findings indicate a high prevalence of self-injury. Students who self-injured were motivated by a desire to alleviate emotional pain; students who tattooed and pierced by self-expression.

This study assessed dysfunctional beliefs about appearance, shameful cognitions, and fear of negative evaluation and their…

Claassen, Cynthia A.; Trivedi, Madhukar H.; Shimizu, Iris; Stewart, Sunita; Larkin, Gregory Luke; Litovitz, Toby – Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, 2006
The absence of validated U.S. rates of nonfatal suicidal behavior places risk management and injury prevention programs at danger of being poorly informed and inadequately conceptualized. In this study we compare estimated rates of intentional self-harm from two ongoing surveys (National Electronic Injury Surveillance System-All Injury…

Waghid, Yusef – Journal of Beliefs & Values, 2006
