Abstract:
:Tools for assessing an individual's readiness to change nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) are limited. The Transtheoretical model of change (TTM) has been useful in predicting behavior change and guiding interventions for a variety of health behaviors including eating disorders, substance use disorders, and exercise. The aim of the current study was to examine the validity of test score interpretations from 3 newly developed measures to assess NSSI behavior change. Following in-depth interviews, modifications to existing TTM scales were made and tested with a set of web-based measures delivered to people who self-injure. This resulted in 11 new scales that reflect 3 domains associated with behavior change: NSSI-Decisional Balance (NSSI-DB), NSSI-Processes of Change (NSSI-POC), and NSSI-Self-Efficacy (NSSI-SE). Overall, results provide support for the reliability of test scores and validity of test scores interpretations. Implications for research, clinical use, and next steps are discussed.
