Interpersonal dysfunction and aggression are features that are frequently found in individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD); however, few studies have examined the possible causal relationship between aggressive actions and interpersonal problems. In a nonclinical sample of 98 women with a range of BPD features, the present study examined the prospective relationship between aggressive behaviors and negative interpersonal events using a weekly diary method. Results showed that higher BPD symptoms were related to higher aggression and more negative interpersonal events. Furthermore, the aggressive acts endorsed among women with more BPD features were more likely the effect, rather than the cause, of the negative interpersonal events they experienced. Implications for interventions targeting aggression among women with elevated BPD features and suggestions for future research are discussed.
人际关系失调和攻击行为是边缘型人格障碍（BPD）患者常见的特征；然而，很少有研究探讨攻击行为和人际关系问题之间可能存在的因果关系。本研究在一个非临床的 98 名具有不同 BPD 特征的女性样本中，使用每周日记法，考察了攻击行为与人际负面事件之间的前瞻性关系。结果表明，较高的 BPD 症状与较高的攻击性和更多的人际负面事件有关。此外，在 BPD 特征较高的女性中，攻击性的表现更可能是她们经历的人际负面事件的结果，而不是原因。本文讨论了针对具有较高 BPD 特征的女性的攻击性干预措施的意义，并提出了未来研究的建议。
