Interpersonal difficulties and emotion regulation are the core characteristics of borderline personality disorders (BPD). However, how emotion regulation strategies contribute to the association between interpersonal problems and borderline personality symptomatology have not been highlighted within cognitive theory. The current study aims to examine the mediator role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies between interpersonal problems and borderline personality beliefs. The study consisted of 648 (381 women and 267 male) people from Turkey. In addition to Socio-Demographic Form, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), Inventory of Interpersonal Problems Circumplex Scales (IIP-32), and Borderline Personality Belief Subscale (BPBS) were used to collect data from participants. Results showed that negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies, particularly catastrophizing, blaming-others and self-blame, mediated interpersonal problems, and borderline personality beliefs. Since the current study used thought-based assessment, the findings provide enlightening information to understand the underlying cognitive processes of the borderline personality pattern, and promising clinical implications to improve intervention programs within cognitive therapy approaches.

消极认知情绪调节策略在人际关系问题与边缘人格信念之间的中介作用

人际关系困难和情绪调节是边缘型人格障碍（BPD）的核心特征。然而，情绪调节策略如何促进人际关系问题与边缘人格症状之间的关联在认知理论中尚未得到强调。目前的研究旨在检验认知情绪调节策略在人际关系问题和边缘人格信念之间的中介作用。该研究由来自土耳其的 648 人（381 名女性和 267 名男性）组成。除了社会人口统计表之外，还使用认知情绪调节问卷 (CERQ)、人际问题盘查量表 (IIP-32) 和边缘人格信念分量表 (BPBS) 来收集参与者的数据。结果表明，消极的认知情绪调节策略，尤其是灾难化、指责他人和自责，介导了人际关系问题和边缘人格信念。由于当前的研究使用了基于思想的评估，因此研究结果为了解边缘人格模式的潜在认知过程提供了启发性信息，并为改善认知治疗方法中的干预计划提供了有希望的临床意义。
