Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is a common and problematic form of personality pathology involving excessive attention-seeking, often through overly sexualized means. Much of the research on HPD has involved the association between HPD characteristics and basic temperament traits. Given the sometimes hypersexualized presentation of HPD, another potential influence on HPD characteristics may be exposure to sexual assault. However, there is little research on the association between sexual assault and HPD in general or with respect to temperament traits in particular. In this study, we examine the relative associations of sexual assault and temperament traits with the cognitive characteristics of HPD in a large sample of college students ( = 965) using a Bayesian approach to the analysis of covariance. Results suggest that sexual assault is associated with HPD cognitive characteristics over and above the robust influence of temperament traits. The study findings have implications for future research on and clinical intervention with people with HPD.
表演型人格障碍（HPD）是一种常见且有问题的人格病理学形式，其表现为过度寻求关注，通常采用过度性化的方式。关于表演型人格障碍的许多研究都涉及到表演型人格障碍特征与基本气质特质之间的关联。鉴于表演型人格障碍有时呈现出过度性化的表现，另一个对表演型人格障碍特征的潜在影响可能是遭受性侵犯。然而，总体而言，关于性侵犯与表演型人格障碍之间的关联，特别是关于气质特质方面的研究很少。在本研究中，我们使用贝叶斯协方差分析方法，在一个大学生大样本（n = 965）中检验性侵犯和气质特质与表演型人格障碍认知特征的相对关联。结果表明，除了气质特质的强大影响外，性侵犯还与表演型人格障碍的认知特征相关。该研究结果对未来关于表演型人格障碍患者的研究和临床干预具有启示意义。
