Dissociative experiences (e.g., depersonalization and derealization) as a coping response to stressful situations lie on a continuum from healthy to unhealthy but are generally elevated in individuals experiencing mental illness. However, the extent to which Dialectical Core Schemas explain the relationship between dissociative experiences and symptomatology is unclear.

However, the role of emotional reactivity for positive emotions in those with a history of NSSI is still unclear. Thus, the present study sought to examine group differences in the reactivity of (a) negative and (b) positive emotions in young adults with and without a history of NSSI engagement, and (c) to evaluate whether the reactivity of positive emotions could predict NSSI engagement when controlling for reactivity of negative emotions. The sample consisted of 96 female students who reported engaging in NSSI within the past 2 years (<i>M</i>_age = 20.28 years, <i>SD</i> = 1.65) and an age-matched female comparison group with no NSSI history (<i>M</i>_age = 20.43 years, <i>SD</i> = 1.76).

Perceived social support is a robust protective factor against the impact of PTSD and depression on suicidal ideation in college students, however different forms of social support (family, friends, significant others) may have greater influence on this association. In the current study, the influence of the different types of perceived social support on the relationship between PTSD-depression symptoms and suicidal ideation in college students were examined. College students (<i>N</i> = 928; 71% female) were recruited in part of a cross-sectional survey study examining the role of mental health on education functioning. A hierarchical regression indicated that PTSD-depression symptoms (b = .27, <i>p</i> < .001) and perceived family support (b = -.04, <i>p</i> < .01) were significantly associated with current suicidal ideation, while perceived support from friends (b = -.02, <i>p</i> = .417) and significant others (b = -.01, <i>p</i> = .301) were not. Perceived family support interacted with PTSD-depression symptoms (b = -.03, <i>p</i> < .05) to weaken the positive influence of symptoms on current suicidal ideation. Perceived family support appears to be the significant component of social support that moderates the relationship between PTSD-depression symptoms and suicidal ideation.

Self-efficacy for self regulatory behavior was observed to be the strongest predictor, predicting lower rates of academic procrastination, though this effect was significantly greater for individuals who scored higher on a measure of visual imagery. Visual imagery predicted higher levels of academic procrastination when included in a regression model with other significant factors, though this relationship did not hold for individuals who scored higher on self regulatory self-efficacy, suggesting that this self-belief may shield individuals who would otherwise be disposed to procrastination behavior.
