ABSTRACT

Childhood trauma and empathy deficits have been found to be related to borderline personality disorder (BPD), but the mechanisms of action remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of empathy in male offenders with BPD tendencies and to test its mediating role in the relationship between childhood trauma and BPD tendencies. Two hundred and fifty-seven male offenders and 43 male nonoffender controls completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire Short From (CTQ-SF), the Questionnaire of Cognitive and Affective Empathy (QCAE) and the Chinese version of the computerized Yoni Task. ANOVA, Mixed-model ANOVAs and the PROCESS macro were used to analyze the inventory data and task performances. Compared to male offenders without BPD tendencies and nonoffender controls, offenders with BPD tendencies showed more severe childhood abuse, lower cognitive empathy and poorer task performances in second-order cognitive and second-order affective theory of mind. Furthermore, cognitive empathy was found to play a mediating role in the relationship between childhood trauma and BPD tendencies. Our findings indicate the effects of childhood trauma and empathy impairments on BPD and suggest the possible application value of the precision empathy ability training in the intervention of offenders with BPD.

同理心在男性罪犯童年创伤与边缘人格倾向之间关系中的作用

摘要

已发现童年创伤和移情缺陷与边缘型人格障碍 (BPD) 相关,但其作用机制尚不清楚。本研究旨在调查具有 BPD 倾向的男性罪犯的共情特征,并测试其在童年创伤与 BPD 倾向之间的关系中的中介作用。257 名男性罪犯和 43 名男性非罪犯控制者完成了童年创伤问卷 Short From (CTQ-SF)、认知和情感移情问卷 (QCAE) 和计算机化的 Yoni Task 中文版。方差分析、混合模型方差分析和过程宏用于分析库存数据和任务性能。与没有 BPD 倾向和非犯罪者控制的男性罪犯相比,有 BPD 倾向的罪犯表现出更严重的童年虐待,在二阶认知和二阶情感心理理论中较低的认知同理心和较差的任务表现。此外,发现认知同理心在童年创伤和 BPD 倾向之间的关系中起着中介作用。我们的研究结果表明童年创伤和共情障碍对 BPD 的影响,并提出了精确共情能力训练在干预 BPD 罪犯中的可能应用价值。
