Multivariate regression analyses included age, sex, intellectual ability, and recent depressive symptoms as covariates. Contrasts compared NSSI groups to controls. Comparisons ofsporadicvs repetitive NSSI did not reveal any significant results.

a

Indicates distractor valence.

b

NSSI group × valence interaction p-value.

c

Significant according to Benjamini-Hochberg procedure.
