Two studies tested the hypothesis that rejection sensitivity (RS) and executive control (EC) jointly predict borderline personality (BP) features. We expected high RS to be related to increased vulnerability for BP features specifically in people who also had difficulties in executive control (EC). Study 1 tested this hypothesis using a sample of college students (N = 379) whereas Study 2 (N = 104) was conducted using a community sample of adults. Both studies operationalized EC by a self-report measure. For a subsample in Study 2 (N = 80), ability to delay gratification at age 4 was also used as an early behavioral precursor of EC in adulthood. In both studies, high RS was associated with increased BP features among people low in self-reported EC. Among those high in self-reported EC, the relationship between RS and BP features was attenuated. Study 2 found parallel findings using preschool delay ability as a behavioral index of EC. These findings suggest that EC may protect high RS people against BP features.
拒绝敏感性（RS）和执行控制（EC）共同预测边缘型人格（BP）特征。我们预计，高RS尤其在那些执行控制（EC）也存在困难的人群中，与BP特征的易感性增加有关。研究1使用大学生样本（N = 379）检验了这一假设，而研究2（N = 104）则使用了成年人社区样本进行。两项研究均通过自我报告测量来对EC进行操作化。对于研究2中的一个子样本（N = 80），4岁时的延迟满足能力也被用作成年期EC的早期行为先兆。在两项研究中，自我报告的EC水平较低的人群中，高RS与BP特征增加有关。在自我报告的EC水平较高的人群中，RS与BP特征之间的关系减弱。研究2使用学前延迟能力作为EC的行为指标也发现了类似的结果。这些发现表明，EC可能会保护高RS人群免受BP特征的影响。
