The riddle of deliberate self ‐harm: Physiological and subjective effects of self‐cutting cues in patients with borderline personality disorder and healthy controls
AbstractSelf-harming behavior is a core symptom of borderline personality disorder. Self-report studies show a correlation between a lack of self-reported negative feelings toward self-cutting cues and the likelihood of future self-destructive behavior. Despite these findings, there has so far been insufficient investigation into the implicit emotional processes evoked by this stimulus type. Forty patients with borderline personality disorder and 35 healthy controls between 20 and 50 years of age were confronted with pictures of self-cutting cues and affective reference pictures. A startle reflex paradigm was used for m...

Using the HEXACO to explain the structure of borderline and psychopathic personality traits
AbstractResearch has examined the use of basic personality traits in describing problematic personality traits, such as borderline and psychopathic traits. Specifically, the Honesty –Humility factor of the HEXACO model of personality appears to account for a large proportion of the variance in these traits. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether the HEXACO model would similarly predict borderline traits. As found in previous research, psychopathic traits were predicted by low Honesty–Humility, Emotionality, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness, whereas borderline traits were found to be negatively rela...

The impact of a combined mentalisation ‐based therapy and therapeutic community programme for adolescents with borderline personality disorder traits on service utilisation in Western Australia
This study assessed the effect of a mentalisation-based therapy (MBT) treatment programme on the utilisation of Western Australian public hospitals for mental health presentations over an 18-month period. Hospital data included the number of visits to the emergency department (ED), the number of inpatient admissions to hospital and length of stay of the admissions. Participants included 76 adolescents aged 13 –17 years old, who presented with borderline personality disorder (BPD) traits. The Touchstone treatment programme is a time-limited intensive programme that utilises MBT in the context of a therapeutic community....

The relationship between trait mindfulness and resilience: A meta ‐analysis
AbstractResilience is a positive psychological resource that promotes health. Trait mindfulness was found to be related to resilience. However, previous studies on this relationship have shown contradictory results. The current meta-analysis explored the relationship between trait mindfulness and resilience based on a three-level random-effects meta-analysis model. A significant and positive relationship between trait mindfulness and resilience (r = 0.385;p < 0.0001) was revealed by analyzing 197 effect sizes from 103 studies. Furthermore, the subsequent moderator analysis found that the facet of mindfulness (e...

The predictive validity of the DSM ‐5 alternative model for borderline personality disorder: Associations with coping strategies, general distress, rumination, and suicidal ideation across one year
AbstractThe DSM-5 Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD) characterizes borderline personality disorder (BPD) in part as a constellation of maladaptive personality trait facets including emotional lability, anxiousness, separation insecurity, depressivity, impulsivity, risk-taking, and hostility. Previous studies have supported the construct validity of AMPD-BPD; however, research examining its predictive validity in relation to theoretically and clinically relevant constructs remains needed. The present study investigates the longitudinal relationships between AMPD-BPD and general distress, rumination, and suic...

New Zealand (Aotearoa) clinicians' perspectives on the utility of the ICD ‐11 personality disorder diagnosis
AbstractThe ICD-11 has now taken effect and includes a new dimensional personality disorder (PD) diagnosis. The current study aimed to examine Aotearoa/New Zealand practitioners' perceptions of the clinical utility of the new PD system. A sample of 124 psychologists and psychiatrists completed a survey, applying the DSM-5 and ICD-11 PD diagnostic systems to a current patient, and completed clinical utility metrics on the DSM-5 and ICD-11 models. Additional open-ended questions further elicited clinicians' perceptions of the strengths, weaknesses and potential application issues of the ICD-11 PD diagnosis, and these respons...

Adverse childhood experiences and personality functioning interact substantially in predicting depression, anxiety, and somatization
AbstractEtiological theories on the development of psychopathology often incorporate adverse childhood experiences (ACE) as an important contributing factor. Recent studies suggest personality functioning (PF; i.e., stability of the self and interpersonal relationships) as an important transdiagnostic construct that could be useful in better understanding when persons with ACE do (not) develop psychopathological symptoms. A representative sample ofN = 2363 was assessed by questionnaires on ACE, PF (Level of Personality Functioning Scale—Brief Form), and current symptoms of depression, anxiety, and somatization (Bri...

Investigation of the role of personality traits and emotion regulation on personality functioning in patients with depression/anxiety disorder
AbstractThe relationship between the dimensional assessment of personality and difficulties in emotion regulation has yet to be made clear. The present study aimed to investigate the role of personality traits and emotion regulation on personality functioning. Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) and Level of Personality Functioning Scale (LPFS) were rated for 220 patients with depression and/or anxiety disorder diagnosis and 100 healthy controls. Stepwise regression analyses (SRA) were used to find potential predictors o...

Associations between physical health and the alternative model of personality disorders: A cross ‐sectional age study
AbstractThe Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD) is a relatively new dimensional model of personality disorders (PDs) that assesses two diagnostic constructs: personality functioning and pathological personality traits. Thus far, research on the AMPD among older adults has been limited, but the research that does exist suggests limited generalizability to the unique biopsychosocial context of later life. To further examine the applicability of the AMPD to older adults, the purpose of this study was to examine relationships between the AMPD's two constructs with perceived physical health status among younger an...

Connecting DSM ‐5 and ICD‐11 trait domains with schema therapy and dialectical behavior therapy constructs
We examined associations between ST constructs, DBT skill use and maladaptive coping styles, and personality traits in a sample of 525 adults. Bivariate intercorrelations and a series of multiple regression analyses were conducted to investigate the associations. As hypothesized, maladaptive coping was strongly associated with all trait domains. Surprisingly, poor DBT-skill use was only ass ociated with negative affectivity, detachment, and disinhibition trait domains. Specific schema domains were associated with each personality trait domain, supporting trait domain-schema domain specificity. The current study highlights ...

Influence of personality traits, gender, and socio ‐economic factors in obesity in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing
This study employs data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). We focus on waves 5 and 6 of the ELSA with a sample of 6562 individuals. The results suggests that the traits of agreeableness ( β=0.071,se=0.016,p<0.001$$ \beta =0.071, se=0.016,\kern0.5em p<0.001 $$) and openness ( β=0.028,se:0.014,p<0.001$$ \beta =0.028, se:0.014,\kern0.5em p<0.001 $$) are positively and significantly associated with obesity. On the other hand, consciousness has a negative and statistically significant effect on obesity β=0.072,se:0.017,p<0.001$$ \left(\beta =0.072, se:0.017,\kern0.5em p<0.001\right) $$. R...

Examining the construct validity of the Personality Assessment Questionnaire for ICD ‐11 (PAQ‐11) personality trait domains in a community sample
AbstractThe ICD-11 has a new diagnostic system for personality disorder, which includes five optional trait specifiers to characterize the diagnosed pathology. The current study evaluated the internal structure and construct validity of the Personality Assessment Questionnaire for ICD-11 (PAQ-11) personality trait domains in a US population-representative community sample. An exploratory factor analysis revealed the support for a four-factor model underlying the 17 PAQ-11 items, reflecting four of the five ICD-11 trait domains (Negative Affectivity, Detachment, Disinhibition and Anankastia). Moreover, correlation analyses ...

The influence of NOS1AP gene polymorphisms and childhood abuse on antisocial personality disorder in Chinese male violent inmates
This study recruited ASPD and non-ASPD male subjects who had committed violent crimes from a prison in Nanjing, China. By comparing the two groups' genotypes, allele frequencies, and histories of childhood abuse, we explored the interaction between the NOS1AP gene and childhood maltreatment on the pathogenesis of ASPD. The results showed that polymorphism rs945713 in the NOS1AP gene was associated with ASPD and furthermore that this SNP may be involved in regulating the effect of childhood abuse on ASPD. This study found that childhood trauma increases the risk of ASPD in violent adult male inmates; for prisoners with ASPD...
