Zusammenfassung:The purpose of this study was to identify factors that may protect or insulate people from engaging in nonsuicidal self‐injury (NSSI). College students (N = 14,385) from 8 universities participated in a web‐based survey.

The authors provide practice suggestions for college counselors and other professionals charged with helping those at risk for NSSI.
