Macrynikola N, et al. - This study was meant to investigate the association between stressful life events (SLEs) and risk for different forms of self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs), along with the potential buffering role of social connectedness, in a diverse sample of young adults from a commuter college. The authors proposed that identifying ways to increase social connectedness on diverse commuter campuses could help in reducing the risk of SITBs. It, however, could not buffer against the effect of SLEs on the risk of SITBs. Future studies were recommended to examine contextual variables (e.g., type and timing of social support) that could play a role in protecting against SITBs, especially for those with a history of adversity.
