A number of authors have examined gender differences in patients with borderline personality disorder. Current data suggest that for some clinical features, there appear to be genuine gender differences, whereas for other clinical features, there are not apparent differences. In this study, we examined by gender 22 self-harm behaviors in 61 internal medicine outpatients with borderline personality symptomatology. We found that only 2 self-harm behaviors were statistically significantly more common in one of the sexes--head-banging and losing a job on purpose, with both being more common in men. These findings appear to mirror the existing literature--i.e., that there may be some genuine gender differences with regard to specific self-harm behaviors, but the majority of self-harm behaviors overlap between the sexes.
许多作者研究了边缘性人格障碍患者的性别差异。目前的数据表明，对于某些临床特征，似乎存在真正的性别差异，而对于其他临床特征，则没有明显差异。在本研究中，我们按性别对61名有边缘性人格症状的内科门诊患者的22种自我伤害行为进行了检查。我们发现，只有两种自我伤害行为在某一性别中在统计学上显著更常见——撞头和故意失业，两者在男性中更常见。这些发现似乎反映了现有文献的情况，即关于特定的自我伤害行为可能存在一些真正的性别差异，但大多数自我伤害行为在两性之间存在重叠。
