N2  - Extant research indicates that dissociation may act as a risk factor for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), but the data are mixed. In this study, 75 university and community females, aged 18-35, were assessed for rates of normative, clinical, and severely clinical dissociation, as well as for NSSI. Significant differences in normative dissociation were found between the control group and the group reporting a history of NSSI. Additionally, normative dissociation - but not clinical or severely clinical dissociation - was found to be significantly associated with NSSI in this sample. Considering this finding in the context of existing literature, the authors propose a quartile risk model of dissociation and NSSI as a new approach to the influences of levels of dissociation on NSSI risk.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
