A Path Model Exploring Emotional Mechanisms of Nonsuicidal Self-Injury and Suicide Attempts
No full textMomentary Emotion-to-Behavior Mechanisms of Impulsive Behavior
No full textThis study uses ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to examine emotions and impulsive behaviors (e.g. self-harm, substance use), 8 times/day for 14 days. The data includes multiple specific emotions, and multiple specific impulsive behaviors. The goal of the study is to statistically describe within-person emotion-behavior links in this dataset at two levels:
1) as common processes (i.e. a similar mechanism may drive the emotion-behavior link across people) and, 2) as idiographic manifestations of a process (i.e. people differ in their engagement in specific behaviors to regulate specific emotions).
Specifically, this study aims to compare strategies of examining the relationship between emotions and behaviors when EMA data contains multiple emotion items and multiple behavior items. For a given individual, impulsive behavior may be driven by a primary emotion (e.g. anger) or an affective factor (e.g. high arousal negative emotion). Similarly, an emotion or affect factor may drive only one behavior (drinking) or a set of behaviors that vary (drinking, drug use, or self harm).
We will conduct a series of idiographic regression models for each person, predicting impulsive behaviors by emotions in daily life to understand relative strength of prediction of: 1) specific emotions (e.g. anger) versus affective factor scores (e.g. high arousal negative emotion) on each impulsive behavior within-person; and 2) emotion items predicting specific versus general impulsive behavior engagement within-person. In other words, there are two contrasts being tested per person: collapsing across versus specific, for both emotion and behavior. Analyses will be primarily descriptive, including reports of beta coefficients and significance of every model examined. For each person, the beta coefficients from all of their models will be compared to see which is the strongest prediction pair (i.e. are specific/general emotions more predictive of specific/general behaviors?). Frequencies will be reported at a group level to describe which patterns of emotion-behavior pairing are most frequently the strongest
Momentary Emotion-to-Behavior Mechanisms of Impulsive Behaviors (Addendum)
No full textThe following is an addendum to add additional hypotheses to the existing project “Momentary Emotion-to-Behavior Mechanisms of Impulsive Behaviors” (https://osf.io/kabve). The previously registered design plan including materials, sampling plan, and variables are relevant here. The following hypothesis was registered after data collection, initial data cleaning, and analyses outlined in the original preregistration
Shame and urgency in NSSI and suicide attempts
No full textUrgency is the trait-like tendency to respond to heightened emotion states with rash action. It has been associated with both NSSI and suicide attempts (Lynam et al., 2011). Limited research has sought to identify specific emotions that may trigger NSSI or suicide attempts within the context of urgency (i.e., which emotion triggers the potentially impulsive behavior?). We examined shame as a candidate emotion. Our aim was to test an integrative model of urgency, shame, and self-harm across two samples. Specifically, we hypothesized that the interaction of greater shame-proneness and greater urgency would explain unique variance in NSSI and suicide attempt history
