Direct and indirect self-damaging behaviors are highly prevalent and associated with negative clinical and public health outcomes. Despite progress in understanding the expected consequences (expectancies) that motivate individuals to engage in these behaviors, less is known about the co-occurrence of, and expectancies for, a broader range of self-damaging behaviors that may occur in combination. The goal of this study was to develop a self-report measure to assess the frequency of, and individuals’ expectancies for, nonsuicidal self-injury, eating disordered behavior, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and problematic exercise. An initial draft of the Expectancies for Body-Focused Coping Questionnaire (EBCQ) was developed and refined through expert feedback and pilot testing in a student sample (n = 11). The factor structure of the EBCQ was examined through exploratory factor analysis in a student sample (n = 353) and confirmatory factor analysis in a community sample (n = 443). The measure demonstrated good internal consistency and convergent and divergent validity. The EBCQ offers a flexible tool for assessment and treatment planning for researchers and clinicians working with individuals with a variety of self-damaging behaviors.
