This study examines whether individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) would exhibit augmented emotional responses to picture stimuli after being challenged with an ideographic interpersonal conflict script. Participants were 24 adults diagnosed with BPD, 23 adults diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), and 28 normal controls. Participants viewed emotionally evocative pictures before and after listening to the interpersonal script while a variety of physiological measures were recorded. Findings indicated that the interpersonal script was effective in eliciting enduring emotional responses from the BPD group relative to the control groups. However, despite the effectiveness of the interpersonal challenge task, there were no group differences in emotional responding to the affect eliciting stimuli. The findings underscore the complexities involved in examining emotional dysregulation in BPD in a laboratory setting.
本研究旨在探讨边缘型人格障碍(BPD)患者在经历人际冲突脚本挑战后,对图片刺激是否会表现出增强的情绪反应。参与者包括 24 名被诊断为 BPD 的成年人、23 名被诊断为强迫症人格障碍(OCPD)的成年人和 28 名正常对照组。参与者在听人际脚本前后观看情感唤起的图片,同时记录各种生理测量结果。研究结果表明,人际脚本能够有效地引起 BPD 组相对于对照组的持久情绪反应。然而,尽管人际挑战任务有效,但在对情绪诱发刺激的情绪反应方面,各组之间没有差异。这些发现强调了在实验室环境中检查 BPD 中情绪失调的复杂性。
