Abstract

Perspective taking is important for effective interpersonal functioning. According to Relational Frame Theory (RFT), perspective taking is underpinned by deictic relational framing. It has been proposed that individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) may have deficits in perspective taking. A mixed experimental design (N = 112) was used to assess whether individuals with a diagnosis of BPD displayed impaired perspective taking on a computerised RFT deictic relational task (DRT) and a self-report measure, compared to a control sample. There was no significant difference between groups on the computerised DRT. Within the clinical group, overall distress and relational distress were not found to be significantly associated with DRT performance or self-reported perspective taking. However, those with BPD self-reported significantly worse perspective taking ability compared to the control sample. This finding indicates a discrepancy between perceived perspective taking ability and direct perspective taking performance in persons with BPD.

边缘型人格障碍患者的视角转换关系框架方法

透视对于有效的人际交往非常重要。根据关系框架理论（Relational Frame Theory，RFT），透视法的基础是脱虚关系框架（deictic relational framing）。有研究认为，边缘型人格障碍（BPD）患者可能在视角选择方面存在缺陷。研究人员采用混合实验设计（N = 112），与对照样本相比，评估被诊断为 BPD 的患者在计算机化的 RFT deictic relational task（DRT）和自我报告测量中是否表现出透视能力受损。在计算机化的DRT中，组间没有明显差异。在临床组中，整体困扰和关系困扰与 DRT 表现或自我报告的观点取向没有显著关联。然而，与对照组样本相比，患有 BPD 的患者自我报告的透视能力明显较差。这一发现表明，BPD 患者的感知透视能力与直接透视能力之间存在差异。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science is the official journal of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS). Contextual Behavioral Science is a systematic and pragmatic approach to the understanding of behavior, the solution of human problems, and the promotion of human growth and development. Contextual Behavioral Science uses functional principles and theories to analyze and modify action embedded in its historical and situational context. The goal is to predict and influence behavior, with precision, scope, and depth, across all behavioral domains and all levels of analysis, so as to help create a behavioral science that is more adequate to the challenge of the human condition.
