abstract="BACKGROUND: The functions or motives for self-mutilation behavior (SMB) in Eating Disorders are diverse, and the relationship with self-compassion is unclear. <br><br>OBJECTIVEs This study aims to evaluate the relationship between SMB and Self-compassion. <br><br>METHODS: 251 women aged 25.8 years (SD=5.94) and 73.54kg (SD=19.33) completed measures for Binge Eating (BE), Self-Compassion, and SMB. <br><br>RESULTS: In the total evaluated, 83.27% (n=209) presented BE and 94.02% (n=236) presented at least 1 type of SMB. In comparison between groups, the BE-purging one's reached higher values for BE, and less self-compassion, while BE group presented higher self-compassion values. For the BE-purging group, the behaviors &quot;Cut or carving skin&quot;, &quot;Hitting self&quot;, &quot;Pulling out one's hair&quot;, &quot;Burning skin&quot; and &quot;Picking areas of the body to the point of drawing blood&quot; showed inverse correlations with self-compassion. <br><br>CONCLUSION: There is an inverse correlation between self-compassion and SMB, and SMB seems to have different functions between BE-purging group vs. BE group.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
