Adverse childhood experiences are significant risk factors in the development of adolescent borderline personality disorder symptoms (BPDs). Theorists have posited that two personality vulnerabilities factors, self-criticism and dependency, may inform our understanding of this relationship. However, no research has examined the associations between early negative experiences, personality vulnerabilities, and adolescent BPDs. The current study aimed to identify profiles of dependency and self-criticism to examine the associations of these profiles with cumulative forms of childhood maltreatment (CM) and BPDs as well as to explore the mediating and moderating role of vulnerable personality profiles in the relationship between cumulative CM and BPDs. Two hundred and forty-one nonclinical and clinical adolescents participated in the study (Mage = 16.37, SD = 1.84). The findings indicated three different profiles: average dependent profile, dependent and self-critical profile, and self-critical profile. Individuals in the average dependent profile presented lower levels of CM and BPDs. Mediation analyses showed that relative to the average dependent profile, a higher cumulative CM history predicted a higher probability of belonging in the dependent and self-critical profile or the self-critical profile and, in turn, this was associated with higher levels of BPDs. No moderating effects of profiles of dependency and self-criticism were found.

不良童年经历是青少年边缘型人格障碍症状 (BPD) 发展的重要危险因素。理论家假设两个人格脆弱因素，自我批评和依赖，可能会告知我们对这种关系的理解。然而，没有研究检查过早期负面经历、人格脆弱性和青少年 BPD 之间的关联。目前的研究旨在确定依赖和自我批评的概况，以检查这些概况与累积形式的儿童虐待 (CM) 和 BPD 之间的关联，并探索易感人格概况在累积形式之间的关系中的中介和调节作用。 CM 和 BPD。241 名非临床和临床青少年参与了这项研究（M年龄= 16.37，SD = 1.84）。调查结果表明了三种不同的概况：平均依赖概况、依赖和自我批评概况以及自我批评概况。处于平均依赖型态的个体表现出较低水平的 CM 和 BPD。中介分析表明，相对于平均依赖型，较高的累积 CM 历史预测属于依赖型和自我批评型或自我批评型的概率较高，而这又与较高水平的 BPD 相关。没有发现依赖和自我批评档案的调节作用。
