ABSTRACT

The current study focused on examining the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and personality disorders in offenders with antisocial, borderline or narcissistic personality disorders. We tested whether emotional states mediate the relationship between ACEs and personality disorders in an offender sample. Self-ratings of adverse childhood experiences, emotional states and personality pathology by 102 male offenders with personality disorders were examined using hierarchical multiple regression analyses and mediation analyses. The findings show that personality disorders were characterized by certain emotional states. ACEs did not differentiate between personality disorders. Only the relationship between Physical Neglect and NPD showed a small negative direct effect and one small positive indirect effect, with healthy emotional states as mediator.

摘要

目前的研究侧重于检查反社会、边缘或自恋型人格障碍罪犯的不良童年经历 (ACE) 与人格障碍之间的关系。我们在罪犯样本中测试了情绪状态是否介导了 ACE 与人格障碍之间的关系。使用分层多元回归分析和中介分析检查了 102 名患有人格障碍的男性罪犯对不良童年经历、情绪状态和人格病理学的自我评价。研究结果表明，人格障碍的特征是某些情绪状态。ACEs 不能区分人格障碍。只有物理忽视和NPD之间的关系显示出小的负面直接影响和小的正面间接影响，
