Impulsivity is regarded as a core feature of borderline personality disorder (BPD; M. C. Zanarini, J. G. Gunderson, & F. R. Frankenburg, 1989) despite lack of evidence from laboratory research (D. M. Dougherty, J. M Bjork, H. C. G. Huckabee, F. G. Moeller, & A. C. Swann, 1999). This study examined impulsivity in incarcerated women with BPD using a passive avoidance task (J. P. Newman & W. A. Schmitt, 1998) and the Impulsiveness-Monotony Avoidance-Detachment inventory (IMD; D. Schalling, 1978). As predicted, incarcerated women diagnosed with BPD committed more passive avoidance errors and reported more impulsivity on the IMD than controls. These findings identify disinhibition as a potentially important component of the impulsivity that characterizes BPD. Specifying the impulsive behavior identified with BPD may contribute to the effective assessment and management of the disorder.
尽管缺乏实验室研究证据（D. M. 多尔蒂、J. M. 比约克、H. C. G. 哈克比、F. G. 莫勒和A. C. 斯旺，1999年），冲动性仍被视为边缘型人格障碍（BPD；M. C. 扎纳里尼、J. G. 冈德森和F. R. 弗兰肯伯格，1989年）的一个核心特征。本研究使用被动回避任务（J. P. 纽曼和W. A. 施密特，1998年）和冲动 - 单调回避 - 超脱量表（IMD；D. 沙林，1978年）对患有BPD的被监禁女性的冲动性进行了研究。正如预测的那样，被诊断患有BPD的被监禁女性比对照组犯下更多的被动回避错误，并且在IMD上报告了更多的冲动性。这些发现确定去抑制是BPD所特有的冲动性的一个潜在重要组成部分。明确与BPD相关的冲动行为可能有助于对该疾病进行有效的评估和管理。
