Thus, research examining other factors that may underlie this needed. Across two studies, examined relationships frequency both emotion regulation self-efficacy (ERSE). Method Two large samples adults (one nationwide community sample one clinical patients with substance use disorders) completed questionnaires and/or interviews. Results revealed significant lifetime ERSE, but not capability, within samples. Conclusions highlight relevance ERSE NSSI-suicide attempt relationship, suggest potential utility interventions aimed at increasing among individuals repeated NSSI.
