Abstract
Although past research suggests that borderline personality disorder (BPD) patients’ rejection hypersensitivity may be an important factor underlying these patients’ interpersonal problems, the role of cognitive factors in this association is still not well understood. The present study examined whether cognitive factors such as effortful control and intolerance of ambiguity mediated the association between rejection sensitivity and BPD features. A sample of 256 young adults completed self-report questionnaires assessing rejection sensitivity, effortful control, intolerance of ambiguity, and BPD features. Results showed that effortful control and intolerance of ambiguity mediated the association between rejection sensitivity and BPD features. The present study showed the role of cognitive aspects including both effortful control and intolerance of ambiguity in the relationship between rejection sensitivity and BPD features. However, there is a need for further research to experimentally investigate how rejection sensitivity may impact cognitive capacities in interpersonal contexts among individuals with BPD features.
