Abstract

Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is associated with intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration and victimization. However, extant research has not distinguished between unidirectional and bidirectional IPV and has not examined relationships between IPV and functions of self-injury. This study of 1,018 university students revealed a significantly higher prevalence of NSSI among those who reported bidirectional IPV compared with nonviolent individuals. However, rates of NSSI in the unidirectional IPV groups are more similar to rates of NSSI in the bidirectional group than in nonviolent individuals. Individuals who engaged in bidirectional IPV were more likely to endorse interpersonal functions of self-injury than those who engaged in unidirectional IPV or no IPV. In contrast, intrapersonal functions of NSSI were not associated with IPV.

FINDINGS suggest that the association between IPV and NSSI may be best understood in the context of relationship conflict, rather than as a distinct correlate of either IPV victimization or IPV perpetration.
