The purpose of the present study was to examine the association between features of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and mate retention tactics as a means of examining an evolutionary perspective on the association between BPD features and interpersonal problems and violence in romantic relationships. Two-hundred twenty-five college student participants completed the Personality Assessment Inventory for Borderlines (PAI-BOR; Morey, 1991) and the Mate Retention Inventory-Short Form (MRI-SF; Buss, Shackelford, & McKibbin, 2008) embedded within other measures. There was a strong association between BPD features and cost-inflicting mate retention tactics, including the specific tactics of vigilance, punishing mate's infidelity threat, intrasexual threats, and sexual inducements for both men and women. There were also gender-specific associations for additional tactics. These results contribute to our understanding of problems in romantic relationships among men and women with BPD features, including violence, and to our understanding of impulsive sexual behavior among individuals with BPD features by showing how these behaviors are used as extreme, maladaptive attempts at mate retention.
本研究旨在探讨边缘型人格障碍（BPD）特征与配偶维持策略之间的关联，以从进化角度检验 BPD 特征与人际关系问题和浪漫关系中的暴力之间的关联。225 名大学生参与者完成了《边缘型人格障碍人格评估量表》（PAI-BOR；Morey，1991）和《配偶维持策略简式量表》（MRI-SF；Buss、Shackelford 和 McKibbin，2008）以及其他量表中的嵌入测验。BPD 特征与代价高昂的配偶维持策略之间存在强烈关联，包括针对男性和女性的特定策略，如警惕、惩罚伴侣不忠威胁、同性威胁和性诱惑。还有针对其他策略的性别特定关联。这些结果有助于我们理解具有 BPD 特征的男性和女性在浪漫关系中存在的问题，包括暴力问题，也有助于我们理解具有 BPD 特征的个体冲动性行为，因为这些行为被视为极端、适应不良的配偶维持策略。
