Although the interpersonal difficulties associated with borderline personality disorder (BPD) are well established, their manifestations within the context of parent-child relationships remain understudied. The current study investigated the relation of maternal BPD symptoms to nonsupportive emotion socialization (i.e., the extent to which mothers punish or minimize their young children's displays of negative emotions), as well as the mediating role of maternal emotion regulation difficulties in this relation. The authors also investigated the moderating role of maternal BPD symptoms in the relation between infant temperamental anger and fear and punitive/minimizing emotion socialization. Using a sample of 99 mother-infant dyads, the authors found that maternal BPD symptoms were significantly related to punitive/minimizing emotion socialization and that maternal emotion regulation difficulties mediated this relation. Moreover, maternal BPD symptoms strengthened the association between mother-reported infant anger and punitive/minimizing emotion socialization. These results extend the growing literature on the impact of maternal BPD on child development.
尽管与边缘型人格障碍（BPD）相关的人际困难已得到充分证实，但它们在亲子关系背景下的表现仍未得到充分研究。本研究调查了母亲的BPD症状与非支持性情绪社会化（即母亲惩罚或淡化幼儿负面情绪表现的程度）之间的关系，以及母亲情绪调节困难在这种关系中的中介作用。作者还研究了母亲的BPD症状在婴儿气质性愤怒和恐惧与惩罚性/淡化性情绪社会化之间关系中的调节作用。通过对99对母婴二元组的样本进行研究，作者发现母亲的BPD症状与惩罚性/淡化性情绪社会化显著相关，并且母亲的情绪调节困难介导了这种关系。此外，母亲的BPD症状加强了母亲报告的婴儿愤怒与惩罚性/淡化性情绪社会化之间的关联。这些结果扩展了关于母亲BPD对儿童发展影响的不断增长的文献。
