Objective

This brief report examined the relationship of negative urgency (the tendency to act rashly in response to negative emotional states), (lack of) perseverance, (lack of) premeditation, and sensation seeking in association with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and symptoms of bulimia nervosa (BN) in a sample of treatment-seeking transgender (TG) youth.

Method

Eighty-six TG youth with a mean age of 17 (sd = 3.2) agreed to participate in the study. The majority of our sample identified as TG male (n = 60) with 20 participants identifying as TG female and 6 identifying as non-binary. The racial ethnic breakdown of our sample was 8.2% Black, 8.2% Multi-racial, 1.2% Native American, and 82.4% White. Over ¼ of our sample endorsed at least one episode of objective binge eating in the last 28 days and 62% endorsed a history of NSSI.

Results

Negative urgency was significantly associated with the odds of NSSI, objective binge eating, and general eating disorder symptoms. Lack of premeditation was significantly related to the odds of NSSI only. No other factors were significantly associated with NSSI or symptoms of BN.

Conclusions

Negative urgency appears to be an important personality construct in understanding increased risk for NSSI and BN symptoms in transgender youth.

冲动的UPPS模型对变性症状的暴食症状和非自杀性自残的关系。

目的

这份简短的报告探讨了与非自杀性自我伤害（NSSI）相关的负面紧迫感（对负面情绪状态做出轻率行动的倾向），（缺乏）毅力，（缺乏）冥想和寻求感觉之间的关系。寻求治疗的跨性别（TG）青年样本中神经性贪食症（BN）的症状和体征。

方法

平均年龄为17岁（sd = 3.2）的86名TG青年同意参加该研究。我们的样本中大多数被确定为TG男性（n = 60），其中20名参与者被标识为TG女性，而6名参与者被标识为非二进制。我们样本的种族种族细分是8.2％黑人，8.2％多种族，1.2％美洲原住民和82.4％白人。在过去的28天中，超过1/4的样本支持至少一集客观暴饮暴食，而62％的样本支持NSSI病史。

结果

急迫性与NSSI，客观暴饮暴食和一般进食障碍症状的几率显着相关。缺乏预谋仅与NSSI的几率显着相关。没有其他因素与NSSI或BN症状显着相关。

结论

在理解跨性别青年中NSSI和BN症状的风险增加时，紧急性似乎是重要的人格建构。
