Individuals suffering from borderline personality disorder (BPD) experience difficulties with mindfulness. How mindfulness influences BPD symptoms, however, is still unknown. We hypothesized that the relationship between mindfulness and BPD symptoms would be mediated by self-compassion. In study 1, we recruited 29 individuals with BPD and 30 group-matched healthy controls. In study 2, we complemented our results with findings from a larger, nonclinical sample of 89 participants that were recruited during an open-house event at the local university. All participants completed questionnaires assessing self-compassion, mindfulness, BPD symptom severity, and emotion dysregulation. In both studies, self-compassion mediated the relationship between mindfulness and BPD symptom severity as well as between mindfulness and emotion dysregulation. Self-compassion seems to be one psychological process that could explain the relationship between mindfulness and BPD symptoms. One promising approach in therapy could be to target self-compassion more directly during mindfulness trainings and interventions.
患有边缘型人格障碍（BPD）的个体在正念方面存在困难。然而，正念如何影响BPD症状仍是未知的。我们假设正念与BPD症状之间的关系将通过自我同情来介导。在研究1中，我们招募了29名患有BPD的个体和30名与之匹配的健康对照者。在研究2中，我们用从当地大学开放日活动中招募的89名参与者组成的更大的非临床样本的研究结果补充了我们的研究结果。所有参与者都完成了评估自我同情、正念、BPD症状严重程度和情绪失调的问卷。在两项研究中，自我同情都介导了正念与BPD症状严重程度之间以及正念与情绪失调之间的关系。自我同情似乎是一个可以解释正念与BPD症状之间关系的心理过程。治疗中一种有前景的方法可能是在正念训练和干预期间更直接地针对自我同情。
