This study explored the characteristics of the Borderline Personality Disorder classification, specified in DSM-III. MMPI profiles of 29 male veteran inpatients with a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder were compared with the profiles of 26 similar inpatients with diagnoses of other personality disorders. The borderline group had higher elevations (p less than .05) on six of the 13 standard MMPI scales. Analyses showed the borderline profiles to be of a significantly higher elevation but no different in either profile shape or dispersion. A discriminant analysis accounted for 43.7% of the variance and correctly classified 78.2% of the patients. Results are discussed in terms of possible explanations for the high F scores of the borderline group. Implications regarding characteristics of the Borderline Personality Disorder are discussed.
本研究探讨了《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版(DSM-III)中所规定的边缘型人格障碍分类的特征。将29名被诊断为边缘型人格障碍的男性退伍军人住院患者的明尼苏达多相人格测验(MMPI)剖面图,与26名被诊断为其他人格障碍的类似住院患者的剖面图进行了比较。边缘型人格障碍组在13个标准MMPI量表中的6个量表上得分更高(p小于0.05)。分析表明,边缘型人格障碍组的剖面图得分显著更高,但剖面图形状或离散度并无差异。判别分析解释了43.7%的方差,正确分类了78.2%的患者。讨论了边缘型人格障碍组F分较高的可能解释。探讨了与边缘型人格障碍特征相关的意义。
