We examined the role of depressive traits—self‐criticism and dependency—in nonsuicidal self‐injury ( NSSI ) and suicidal ideation among inpatient adolescents with eating disorders. In two studies ( N = 103 and 55), inpatients were assessed for depressive traits, suicidal ideations, and NSSI . In Study 2, motivation for carrying out NSSI was also assessed. In both studies, depression predicted suicidal ideation and self‐criticism predicted NSSI . In Study 2, depression and suicidal ideation also predicted NSSI . The automatic positive motivation for NSSI was predicted by dependency and depressive symptoms, and by a two‐way interaction between self‐criticism and dependency. Consistent with the “self‐punishment model,” self‐criticism appears to constitute a dimension of vulnerability for NSSI .
