Although large epidemiological data sets can inform research on the etiology and development of borderline personality disorder (BPD), they rarely include BPD measures. In some cases, however, proxy measures can be constructed using instruments already in these data sets. In this study, the authors developed and validated a self-report measure of BPD from the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ). Items for the new instrument-the Minnesota BPD scale (MBPD) -were identified and refined using three large samples: undergraduates, community adolescent twins, and urban substance users. The authors determined the construct validity of the MBPD scale by examining its association with (a) diagnosed BPD, (b) questionnaire-reported BPD symptoms, and (c) clinical variables associated with BPD: suicidality, trauma, disinhibition, internalizing distress, and substance use. The authors also tested the MBPD scale in two prison inmate samples. Across samples, the MBPD scores correlated with BPD indices and external criteria and showed incremental validity above measures of negative affect, thus supporting its construct validity as a measure of BPD.
虽然大型流行病学数据集可以为边缘型人格障碍（BPD）的病因和发展研究提供信息，但它们很少包含 BPD 测量。然而，在某些情况下，可以使用这些数据集中已经存在的工具来构建代理测量。在这项研究中，作者使用多维人格问卷（MPQ）开发并验证了一种 BPD 的自评量表。新工具的项目 - 明尼苏达州 BPD 量表（MBPD） - 使用三个大样本：大学生、社区青少年双胞胎和城市物质使用者，确定了 MBPD 量表的建构效度。作者通过检查与（a）诊断的 BPD、（b）问卷报告的 BPD 症状和（c）与 BPD 相关的临床变量（自杀、创伤、抑制障碍、内化困扰和物质使用）之间的关联，来检验 MBPD 量表的建构效度。作者还在两个监狱囚犯样本中测试了 MBPD 量表。在所有样本中，MBPD 得分与 BPD 指数和外部标准相关，并且在测量负性情绪的指标之上显示出增量有效性，从而支持其作为 BPD 测量工具的建构效度。
