Rejection Sensitivity and Borderline Personality Disorder Features: A Mediation Model of Effortful Control and Intolerance of Ambiguity

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a serious and complex mental illness, which causes substantial challenges for patients, mental health professionals (Langley and Klopper, 2005), and their families (Lazarus et al., 2014). Disturbed interpersonal relationships are one of the core features and important factors underlying the variety of symptoms in BPD (Lazarus et al., 2014; Sanislow et al., 2002). Although robust evidence indicates that BPD patients experience interpersonal problems, the mechanisms underlying these problems are still not well understood.
