Perception of Social Participation in Borderline Personality Disorder
Abstract
Interpersonal dysfunction is a key feature of borderline personality disorder (BPD). Distorted perception of participation in social situations and altered emotional responses could contribute to these typical interpersonal problems in BPD. Thirty patients with BPD were compared with a healthy control group ( n = 30) in their perceptions and subjective emotional reactions to situations of social inclusion and exclusion. Participants played Cyberball, a virtual ball‐tossing paradigm, in which social inclusion and exclusion are experimentally induced. Control participants reacted with an increase in sadness, anger and overall negative affect when excluded. In BPD patients, social exclusion also induced anger, while general participating in the game seemed to reduce levels of sadness. Compared with healthy controls, BPD patients felt more readily excluded independent of the condition of inclusion or exclusion. In conclusion, patients with BPD displayed a negative bias toward perceived participation in social situations. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Key Practitioner Message: Patients with BPD have a biased perception for exclusion. Virtual ball‐tossing games can be used to induce anger in patients with BPD. Participating in a virtual ball‐tossing game may reduce levels of sadness in BPD in the short term.

“Finally, research indicates that people with BPD are hypersensitive to social exclusion (Domes et al., 2008;Gratz, Dixon-Gordon, Breetz, & Tull, 2013;Renneberg et al., 2012), which may be explained by the cognitiveaffective processing bias proposed in RS.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
