Abstract
This study examined proactive inhibitory control and its links to self-reported traits in adolescents with and without nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) under negative emotion. Forty-one adolescents (20 NSSI, 21 controls) completed impulsivity and alexithymia measures, watched a negative film clip, and performed a stop-signal task. Results showed that the NSSI group had higher trait impulsivity and alexithymia, and blunted emotional reactivity after mood induction. In the task, they did not proactively prolong go-trial reaction times to prepare for stop signals, yet their commission error rate on stop trials was similar to controls. No correlations emerged between self-reports and task performance. These findings suggest that trait alexithymia and impulsivity may be more closely associated with NSSI, and that under negative emotional conditions, adolescents with NSSI may have difficulty proactively adjusting their behavior in anticipation of potential signals.
期刊介绍：
As its name implies, Experimental Psychology (ISSN 1618-3169) publishes innovative, original, high-quality experimental research in psychology — quickly! It aims to provide a particularly fast outlet for such research, relying heavily on electronic exchange of information which begins with the electronic submission of manuscripts, and continues throughout the entire review and production process. The scope of the journal is defined by the experimental method, and so papers based on experiments from all areas of psychology are published. In addition to research articles, Experimental Psychology includes occasional theoretical and review articles.
