Abstract

This paper applies error management theory (EMT) (Haselton and Buss 2000) to explore how disruptions in epistemic trust-trust in communicated information-can be understood as adaptive responses to early adversity in individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). I propose that epistemic mistrust (EM) and epistemic credulity (EC), characterized by inappropriate trust patterns, arise from the differential costs of trusting unreliable versus mistrusting reliable information. Although these biases may seem maladaptive, they function as evolutionary survival mechanisms in response to harsh environments. Signal detection analysis can provide empirical evidence for these trust biases by assessing how individuals with BPD make trust-related decisions. Clinically, understanding these biases as evolutionary adaptations helps reduce stigma and informs evolutionary-informed interventions to recalibrate trust responses and improve interpersonal relationships. This approach highlights the significance of integrating evolutionary perspectives in treating trust disturbances in BPD.

边缘型人格障碍的认知信任中断:一种可能的适应以避免犯代价高昂的错误。
本文运用错误管理理论(EMT) (Haselton and Buss 2000)来探讨认知信任的中断(对沟通信息的信任)如何被理解为边缘型人格障碍(BPD)患者对早期逆境的适应性反应。我认为,以不适当的信任模式为特征的认知不信任(EM)和认知轻信(EC),源于信任不可靠信息与不信任可靠信息的差异成本。尽管这些偏见可能看起来不适应,但它们作为应对恶劣环境的进化生存机制发挥着作用。信号检测分析可以通过评估BPD患者如何做出与信任相关的决策,为这些信任偏差提供经验证据。临床上,将这些偏见理解为进化适应有助于减少耻辱感,并为进化知情干预提供信息,以重新校准信任反应并改善人际关系。这种方法强调了在治疗BPD中信任干扰时整合进化观点的重要性。
