Abstract
Objective: Disordered eating behaviors (DEBs) and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) frequently co-occur in university students, yet what underlies this co-occurrence remains unknown. Network analysis was used to identify psychosocial correlates that may link DEBs and NSSI in university students and test whether networks were similar across gender.
Participants: Four hundred and seventy college women and 473 college men (aged 18-25 years).
Methods: Participants completed online questionnaires. Networks were estimated for men, women, and a combined sample.
Results: The networks for men and women were invariant. The most central nodes in the combined network were difficulties in emotion regulation and body dissatisfaction. Interoception and difficulties in emotion regulation were directly associated with past-month NSSI and strongly associated with body dissatisfaction, linking DEBs and NSSI in the network.
Conclusions: Difficulties in emotion regulation, interoception, and body dissatisfaction may play critical roles in the comorbidity of DEBs and NSSI in university students.
