The Interaction of Distress Tolerance and Pain on the Frequency of Non-Suicidal Self Injury
Color poster with text, images, and chart.Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is the intentional damage to bodily tissues without intentions to die, independent of medically and socially approved procedures (piercings, surgeries). Many things contribute to NSSI behavior, one of which is low
distress tolerance (DT). DT has been postulated as a foundation
to NSSI. Multiple studies have linked NSSI with low distress
tolerance, suggesting that NSSI is used as a coping mechanism
for stress (Lin, You, Wu, & Jiang, 2017; Peterson, Davis-Becker, &
Fisher 2014; Anestis, Pennings, Lavender, Tull, Gratz, 2013). In addition, NSSI has been suggested as a habituation to suicidal
behavior by willingly exposing oneself to painful and distressing
behaviors as a form of habituation (Law, Khazem, Jin & Anestis
2017). Habituation is the reduction of a response due to
repetitive exposure. Individuals that use NSSI have been shown
to increase in their pain endurance (PE) compared with control
populations (Law et al., 2017; Glenn, Michel, Franklin, Hooley, &
Nock 2013; Germain & Hooley, 2013).University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Programs
Discriminative Stimulus Effects of Naltrexone and Haloperidol in Rats With Chronic, Intermittent Access to Sucrose
Color poster with text, graphs, and charts.Our previous research has shown that naltrexone can
be established as a discriminative stimulus for rats
given daily sucrose solutions and trained under a 3.2
mg/kg training dose (TD). Our current study attempts to
establish naltrexone as a discriminative stimulus under
a 0.32 mg/kg TD.University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates Grant; University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Research and Creative Activity Grant; Student Differential Tuition; Minnesota Obesity Center; University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Program
