Note. NSSI = non-suicidal self-injury, boldface values represent unique relationship between predictor and automatic or social functions, all statistics (except R² change) presented in the table refer to the final fourth model, ^†values adjusted using the heteroscedasticity-consistent standard error (HCSE) estimator [53], n = 808 in the model of social functions, due to listwise deletion of missing being the default option in the HCSE macro, ***p < .001.
