Nonsuicidal self-injury is commonly reported as a regulation strategy for those who experience aversive emotions. Previous studies have revealed associations between NSSI and intrapersonal factors, such as self-criticism and emotional aversiveness; however, the interpersonal influences and cultural impacts have not been clarified. This cross-cultural study includes samples of individuals with a history of NSSI from American and Thai cultural backgrounds, representing samples of individualistic (the United States) and collectivistic cultures (Thailand). The findings indicate a stronger association between interpersonal influences (parental expressed emotion and peer support) and interpersonal sensitivity in the Thai sample, which is also correlated to depression severity at a higher degree than in the American sample. Peer support potentially acts as a buffer against intrapersonal criticism and depression severity in both samples, with a stronger negative association with self-criticism in the Thai sample and a more considerable impact on depression severity in the American sample. The findings suggest the importance of interpersonal impact in both cultures and clarify associations that differ by cultural context.Terms of Use
