The article presents the results of an empirical study of the relationship between dissociative symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity and self-injurious behavior. The study was conducted on a Russian-speaking female sample (N=968, Mean age — 21.29, SD=4.30) in online communities of psychological support for mental health disturbances.

Interpersonal functions of self-injurious behavior are typical for 18-19-year-olds, and intrapersonal functions – for 20-21-year-olds. Somatoform (b=0.50, p2=0.25) and peritraumatic dissociation (b=0.41, p2=0.17) significantly predict self-injurious behavior. Fear of Rejection, one of the scales of Interpersonal Sensitivity Measure, mediates the relationship between somatoform (indirect effect — 0.06 [0.03; 0.10], p |
