Abstract

Purpose

Self-determination theory suggests that the associations between self-criticism and self-damaging behaviors (SDBs; e.g., nonsuicidal self-injury [NSSI], disordered eating [i.e., binge eating, purging, restrictive eating], and alcohol or drug misuse) are mediated by basic psychological needs frustration (i.e., autonomy, competence, and relatedness frustration). However, limited research has tested this hypothesis, precluding our understanding of why or how self-criticism is associated with SDBs.

Methods

We addressed this research gap among 1018 adults with a recent history of SDBs (54.6% male, 83.6% White, Mage = 35.41). Participants were recruited on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk) and completed an online survey assessing self-criticism, basic psychological needs frustration, and engagement in SDBs. Structural equation modeling investigated the direct and indirect effects between these variables.

Results

Self-criticism was positively associated with NSSI, purging, alcohol misuse, and drug misuse. Autonomy frustration indirectly linked self-criticism to NSSI. Competence frustration indirectly linked self-criticism to NSSI, binge eating, restrictive eating, and drug misuse. Relatedness frustration indirectly linked self-criticism to alcohol misuse, drug misuse, binge eating, and restrictive eating, but the direction of these associations differed across SDBs. Specifically, self-criticism was associated with higher relatedness frustration, which in turn was associated with more severe substance misuse and less frequent disordered eating.

Conclusions

Overall, results support the applicability of self-determination theory to understanding how self-criticism is associated with a variety of distinct SDBs.

自我批评、基本心理需求受挫与自我损害行为之间的关联:自我决定理论的应用
目的自我决定理论认为,自我批判与自我损害行为(SDBs;如非自杀性自伤[NSSI]、饮食紊乱[即暴饮暴食、清除、限制性饮食]以及酒精或药物滥用)之间的关联是由基本心理需求挫折(即自主性、能力和相关性挫折)介导的。然而,对这一假设进行测试的研究非常有限,这使我们无法了解自我批评为何或如何与 SDBs 相关联。方法我们在 1018 名近期有 SDBs 病史的成年人(54.6% 为男性,83.6% 为白人,年龄 = 35.41)中调查了这一研究空白。我们在亚马逊的 Mechanical Turk(MTurk)上招募了参与者,并完成了一项在线调查,对自我批评、基本心理需求挫折感和参与 SDB 进行了评估。结构方程建模研究了这些变量之间的直接和间接影响。结果自我批判与非自残、清除、酒精滥用和药物滥用呈正相关。自主挫败感间接地将自我批评与 NSSI 联系在一起。能力挫折感间接地将自我批评与非性自杀、暴饮暴食、限制性进食和药物滥用联系在一起。关系挫折感间接地将自我批评与酗酒、药物滥用、暴饮暴食和限制性进食联系起来,但这些联系的方向在不同的 SDB 中有所不同。具体来说,自我批评与较高的亲缘关系挫折感有关,而亲缘关系挫折感又与较严重的药物滥用和较少的饮食失调有关。结论总之,研究结果支持自我决定理论适用于理解自我批评如何与各种不同的 SDB 相关联。
