Participants and Procedures
Participants were 41 undergraduate students, aged 18-30 (M =
20.41, SD = 2.42); 85.4% identified as women; 61.5% identified
as White. Exclusion criteria for all participants included: (a) history
of psychosis, intellectual disabilities, or traumatic brain injury with
loss of consciousness for more than 60 minutes; (b) a score of greater
than 15 on the Quick Inventory of Depression Symptoms (Rush et al.,
2003); (c) severe alcohol or substance use disorder (as defined by
DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013); or (d) past week
suicidal ideation. As part of a larger, experimental study examining
interpersonal stress and NSSI, participants were invited to the lab,
where they completed a series of self-report measures followed by the
interpersonal stressor interview. The interview was conducted in a
private room and was administered by a trained graduate research
assistant. All participants providing informed consent and all
procedures were approved by the Institutional Review Board.
