    Self-poisoning patients exhibit deficits in interpersonal problem-solving skills compared to controls. Locus of control, however, was not found to be a significant factor in self-poisoning behavior.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Self-poisoning is a significant public health concern.
    • Understanding cognitive and personality factors is crucial for intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of interpersonal problem-solving skills and locus of control in self-poisoning behavior.
    • To compare these variables in self-poisoning patients, psychiatric patients, and nonpatient controls.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative study design.
    • Assessment of interpersonal problem-solving skills.
    • Evaluation of locus of control.

    Main Results:

    • Both self-poisoning and psychiatric groups demonstrated impaired interpersonal problem-solving compared to nonpatient controls.

  • Self-poisoning patients showed greater deficits in problem-solving than psychiatric patients.
  • Locus of control did not differentiate self-poisoning patients from nonpatient controls.

    • Conclusions:

    • Interpersonal problem-solving deficits are strongly associated with self-poisoning behavior.
    • Locus of control appears to be an unimportant factor in self-poisoning.
    • Findings suggest targeting problem-solving skills in therapeutic interventions for self-poisoning.
