Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is theorized to develop from a combination of dispositional and environmental risk factors. Among these risk factors, both childhood emotional neglect and abuse (ENA) and rejection sensitivity (RS) have been independently associated with BPD symptomatology. However, to our knowledge, no studies have examined the interaction between these variables as they relate to BPD symptoms. In the current study, greater ENA and RS were independently associated with more BPD symptoms in a sample of undergraduate students (=133). In addition, there was an interaction such that RS was more strongly correlated with BPD symptoms at moderate and low levels of ENA. Our findings suggest dispositional and environmental factors combine to instantiate BPD symptoms and thus suggest RS and ENA merit investigation in clinical samples.
边缘性人格障碍(BPD)被认为是由性格和环境风险因素共同作用而发展形成的。在这些风险因素中,童年期情感忽视与虐待(ENA)以及拒绝敏感性(RS)都分别与BPD症状相关。然而,据我们所知,尚无研究考察这些变量之间与BPD症状相关的相互作用。在当前研究中,在一个包含133名本科生的样本中,更高的ENA和RS分别与更多的BPD症状相关。此外,还存在一种相互作用,即RS在ENA处于中等和低水平时与BPD症状的相关性更强。我们的研究结果表明,性格和环境因素共同作用导致了BPD症状的出现,因此表明RS和ENA值得在临床样本中进行研究。
