Introduction: Theory and research suggest the need to expand research on emotion regulation (ER) within borderline personality disorder (BPD). This research examined the relations of BPD symptoms to interpersonal (venting, reassurance-seeking) and socially-oriented (social comparison) ER strategies (in addition to acceptance and avoidance), and explored the role of trait social comparison orientation (SCO) in these relations. Methods: In Study 1, a nationwide community sample of women completed questionnaires. In Study 2, a university sample of young women completed questionnaires and an online social interaction task (following which they reported on the strategies they used to regulate emotions during the task). Results: Results revealed significant indirect relations of BPD symptoms to venting and reassurance-seeking through trait SCO, reassurance-seeking and social comparison through upward SCO, and the in-vivo use of downward social comparison and avoidance strategies during the social interaction task through upward SCO. Discussion: Results highlight the relevance of trait SCO (particularly upward SCO) to socially-oriented ER strategies among women with heightened BPD symptoms.

将社会比较纳入对边缘人格情绪调节的理解

简介：理论和研究表明，需要在边缘型人格障碍 (BPD) 中扩大对情绪调节 (ER) 的研究。本研究考察了 BPD 症状与人际（发泄、寻求安慰）和社会导向（社会比较）ER 策略（除了接受和回避）的关系，并探讨了特质社会比较导向 (SCO) 在这些策略中的作用。关系。方法：在研究 1 中，一个全国性的社区女性样本完成了问卷调查。在研究 2 中，一个大学样本的年轻女性完成了问卷调查和一项在线社交互动任务（随后她们报告了她们在任务期间用来调节情绪的策略）。结果：结果揭示了 BPD 症状与通过特质 SCO 的发泄和寻求安心的显着间接关系，通过向上 SCO 寻求安慰和社会比较，以及通过向上 SCO 在社会互动任务中体内使用向下社会比较和回避策略。讨论：结果强调了特征 SCO（尤其是向上 SCO）与 BPD 症状加重的女性的社会导向 ER 策略的相关性。
