TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Self-injury and domestic violence in young adults during the CoViD-19 pandemic: trajectories, precursors, and correlates JO - Journal of research on adolescence A1 - Steinhoff, Annekatrin A1 - Bechtiger, Laura A1 - Ribeaud, Denis A1 - Murray, Aja Louise A1 - Hepp, Urs A1 - Eisner, Manuel A1 - Shanahan, Lilly SP - 560 EP - 575 VL - 31 IS - 3 N2 - We examined the longitudinal course of, and pre- and during-pandemic risk factors for, self-injury and domestic physical violence perpetration in young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data came from a Swiss longitudinal study (N = 786, age ~22 in 2020), with one prepandemic (2018) and four during-pandemic assessments (2020). The prevalence of self-injury did not change between April (during the first Swiss national lockdown) and September 2020 (postlockdown). Domestic violence perpetration increased temporarily in males. Prepandemic self-injury was a major risk factor for during-pandemic self-injury. Specific living arrangements, pandemic-related stressor accumulation, and a lack of adaptive coping strategies were associated with during-pandemic self-injury and domestic violence. Stressor accumulation had indirect effects on self-injury and domestic violence through negative emotions.
