降低退伍军人自杀率长期以来一直是退伍军人健康管理局的首要任务，因此，确定自杀行为的相关性对于制定有针对性的干预措施非常重要。非自杀性自伤（NSSI）已被确定为一个强大的预测自杀企图，但是，鲜为人知的是相关的NSSI，可能有助于上游的预防工作。先前的研究表明，遵守各种传统的男性角色规范可能与NSSI呈正相关。因此，由于美国军方被广泛认可为促进和奖励这些规范，本研究试图通过检查美国退伍军人（N = 124）的混合性别样本中遵守各种男性角色规范和参与NSSI行为之间的关联来建立以前的研究。结果表明，情绪控制的规范与终身参与NSSI行为（包括撞墙行为）的关系最密切，而暴力规范与NSSI障碍相关。有趣的是，探索性分析表明，这些协会主要是由女性退伍军人和性取向地位。总体而言，结果强调了评估所有退伍军人遵守男性性别角色规范的重要性，并为未来的研究提供了额外的途径。
Reducing Veteran rates of suicide has long remained a top priority for the Veterans Health Administration, and as such, identifying correlates of suicidal behaviors is important to develop targeted interventions. Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) has been identified as a robust predictor of suicide attempts; however, less is known about correlates of NSSI that may aid in upstream prevention efforts. Prior research suggests adherence to various traditional masculine gender role norms may be positively associated with NSSI. Thus, as the U.S. military is widely recognized for promoting and rewarding such norms, this study sought to build off previous research by examining the association between adherence to various masculine gender role norms and engagement in NSSI behaviors among a mixed-sex sample of U.S. Veterans (N = 124). Results showed the norm of emotional control was most strongly associated with lifetime engagement in NSSI behaviors (including the behavior of wall-object punching), whereas the norm of violence was associated with NSSI disorder. Interestingly, exploratory analyses indicated that these associations were primarily driven by women Veterans and sexual orientation status. Overall, the results highlight the importance of assessing for adherence to masculine gender role norms among all Veterans and speak to additional avenues for future research.
