abstract="OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to explore common and differential relationships between nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), risky drinking, and disordered eating attitudes and impulsivity, emotion dysregulation, and alexithymia. <br><br>METHODS: We investigated these associations in a sample of 951 college students (79.4% female, Mage = 21.86 years) by means of self-report questionnaires assessing the constructs of interest. <br><br>RESULTS: Overall, 28% of the students reported a history of NSSI, one third engaged in risky drinking, and less than 5% reported disordered eating symptoms. Negative urgency and difficulties in emotion regulation were both related to each of the three behaviors and can be considered as common transdiagnostic mechanisms. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: We discuss the implications of transdiagnostic mechanisms involved in these three dysregulated behaviors with respect to their assessment and treatment in college counseling settings.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
