Given the centrality of psychosocial functioning impairments in schizophrenia-related psychopathology, along with the critical role of empathy in the social processes aspect of the Research Domain Criteria Matrix, the relation between empathy and schizotypy should be illuminated. The lack of clarity regarding empathy is in part due to both differences in defining empathy and the relations empathy measures have with different subcomponents of schizotypy. Furthermore, both empathy and schizotypy likely impact psychosocial functioning. The current study aims to better understand the relations between empathy, schizotypy, and psychosocial functioning. This report examines the self-report data drawn from emerging adults who completed a battery of empathy, schizotypy, and social functioning measures (n = 834). Findings demonstrate a complex relation between empathy and schizotypy but coalesce primarily around a negative (inverse) relation between negative features of schizotypy and empathy. Factor analytic results suggest a two-component latent structure for empathy consisting of cognitive and affective domains. Each factor of empathy appears to be negatively associated with negative schizotypal traits. Moderation analyses reveal that both cognitive and affective empathy moderate the relation between negative schizotypy and social functioning. Altogether, the present study demonstrates the interconnectedness of negative schizotypy, empathy, and social functioning. Findings are broadly consistent with previous research considering the relation between schizophrenia and empathy, highlighting the utility of studying schizophrenia liability (i.e., schizotypy).

However, some perspectives suggest that pathological traits, along with functional impairment, may be sufficient indicators of PD. This study builds on previous research by investigating whether identity disturbance, defined as impaired coherence, inconsistency, and discontinuity in the sense of self, contributes to pathological personality trait scores beyond basic five-factor personality traits. Additionally, it examines whether the associations between pathological personality trait domains, PD diagnosis, and functional impairment remain when controlling for identity disturbance and basic personality traits. The study included two samples: 776 community individuals (344 with a psychiatric history) and 77 psychiatric patients diagnosed with PD. Structural equation models with latent factors indicated that pathological personality trait domains can be described as a combination of variance from basic personality traits and to a lesser extent identity disturbance. When identity disturbance was controlled for, however, pathological trait domains no longer differentiated individuals with PD from community participants with psychiatric histories. Furthermore, individual pathological trait domains did not demonstrate incremental validity in predicting functional impairment beyond the contributions of basic personality traits and identity disturbance.

However, the temporal dynamics of this association remain unclear: we do not know whether loneliness amplifies SI within clinically relevant short-term timeframes (e.g., day to day). To fill this gap, we used data from a 21-day ambulatory assessment study of individuals diagnosed with BPD (N = 152, 103 with a history of attempted suicide) and preregistered the hypotheses and code of our analyses. We tested the hypotheses that daily loneliness would be associated with same- and next-day SI, and that, among individuals with a BPD diagnosis, more severe self-reported BPD features would strengthen these associations. In line with our hypotheses, we found a significant contemporaneous and lagged association between loneliness and SI. Contrary to our hypotheses, these links were not significantly amplified by the level of BPD features. Exploratory analyses further suggested that loneliness did not account for the within-person link between daily social interactions and SI, nor did more general personality disorder features alter loneliness-SI links. The links between loneliness and SI highlight a significant vulnerability to suicide risk and our findings suggest that self-reported BPD symptom severity among individuals with a BPD diagnosis may impact the early stages of the suicidal process by predisposing to loneliness.

Nevertheless, studies of emptiness in daily life are scarce and little is known about factors that may mitigate the emptiness-impulsivity association in BPD, such as mentalizing (Mz), the capacity to understand mental states. The current study examined whether emptiness predicts impulsive behaviors in daily life and whether this association is moderated by disorder or by Mz. The study utilized data from an existing data set (Berenson et al., 2011) of 153 participants (57 with a BPD diagnosis, 43 with avoidant personality disorder [APD], and 53 serving as healthy controls [HC]). Following a baseline lab assessment of Mz (Baron-Cohen et al., 2001), participants completed 3 weeks of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) with five daily prompts, including self-reported measures of emptiness and impulsivity. EMA data were analyzed using multilevel modeling. Both the BPD and APD groups reported higher levels of momentary emptiness compared to the HC group. The BPD group exhibited higher levels of impulsivity in daily life compared to the HC and APD groups. There were no group differences in Mz. Interestingly, emptiness significantly predicted impulsivity and was positively associated with impulsivity in both the BPD and HC groups but not in the APD group. Finally, Mz did not moderate the emptiness-impulsivity association. Emptiness seems central to impulsivity in daily life. More ecological and emptiness-specific measures of Mz may have better potential to mitigate the negative consequences of emptiness.

Minority stressors have been associated with criteria for borderline personality disorder (e.g., substance use, suicidality, impulsive behaviors, and interpersonal difficulties with rejection). However, to date, there are no known studies examining the association between traditional minority and intraminority stressors and borderline personality disorder symptomatology. The purpose of the study is to examine the association between traditional and intraminority stressors and borderline personality disorder symptomatology among sexual minority men. Data were collected from 312 sexual minority men (Mage = 24.00, SD = 4.04) via Qualtrics panels across the United States. A hierarchical linear regression was conducted with borderline personality disorder symptomatology as the outcome variable. Minority stressors (i.e., internalized homophobia, sexual orientation concealment, major discrimination, and day-to-day discrimination) were entered in Step 1, and intraminority stress was entered in Step 2. In Step 1, both major and day-to-day discrimination were significantly positively associated with borderline personality disorder symptomatology. In Step 2, intraminority stress was significantly positively associated with borderline personality disorder symptomatology, and day-to-day discrimination remained significant. These findings warrant clinicians to evaluate both minority and intraminority stressors, which may be an additional risk factor in the development and/or maintenance of borderline personality disorder symptomatology.

Such a process has been found to enhance prosocial behaviors, affiliation, and trust. While research has investigated the general underlying cognitive and social mechanisms that facilitate interpersonal synchrony, much less is known about how interpersonal impairments influence it in various psychopathological conditions-such as borderline personality disorder (BPD). In this study, we investigated the role of the social cognitive processes of individuals with high BPD traits during a synchronized interaction task. Participants (N = 206) were recruited from the general population. BPD traits were assessed, and interpersonal synchrony was measured with a finger-tapping task. Participants were instructed to interact with a virtual partner (VP) that varied its adaptivity level in response to their taps across different conditions of adaptivity (α), ranging from nonadaptive to overly adaptive. After each interaction, the perception of synchrony and affect were assessed. Results showed an overall main significant effect of the adaptivity of the VP on interpersonal synchrony and the interaction experience, such that when VP adaptivity increased, asynchrony and perceived synchrony decreased. High levels of BPD traits were associated with higher asynchrony and variability, depending on the level of VP adaptivity, and an overall more negative perception of synchrony and affect. These findings show that high BPD traits are associated with reduced interpersonal synchrony during interaction. Consistent with these findings, interventions might consider the potential role of interpersonal synchrony in building the therapeutic relationship.

In its extreme form, the self is perceived as detached from the physical body, resulting in so-called out-of-body experiences (OBEs). It has been previously proposed that altered bottom-up sensory integration contributes to this kind of dissociative self-experience, which is supported by results on the experimental induction of OBEs in nonclinical individuals by appropriate visuotactile stimulation. Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by disturbed body representation which covaries with clinical dissociation levels; however, whether dissociative self-experiences in BPD also rely on bottom-up sensory processes is unknown. In the present study, we experimentally induced OBEs in a sample of 22 participants with the diagnosis of current BPD (cBPD) as well as 16 individuals with remitted BPD and 20 nonclinical controls. Results revealed higher proneness for OBEs in cBPD compared to both other groups. Processing of affective sensory information, in terms of pain and emotional acoustic stimuli, was not influenced by experimentally provoked dissociative self-experiences. Changes in clinical dissociation were significantly related to the extent of experimentally induced body-self detachment in the cBPD group. Our results suggest that altered processing of exteroceptive sensory information contributes to clinically relevant dissociative self-experiences in BPD, which appears to normalize when the disorder is in its remitted stage. We discuss our results in the context of altered weighting of exteroceptive and interoceptive information in a predictive coding framework.

This study aimed to identify neural and affective mechanisms of identity disturbance in BPD that contribute to difficulties in relating to others. Participants diagnosed with BPD (N = 34) and nonclinical controls (NCC; N = 35) completed a within-subject social feedback task inside a magnetic resonance imaging scanner. Participants received character evaluations, supposedly from a panel of three members who provided either predominantly negative, intermediate, or positive feedback. Multilevel analysis and event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging analysis compared the BPD and NCC group on mood, affiliation, and neural responses to the feedback and the panel. Results indicate that people with BPD had more negative self-views and reported lower mood after negative and intermediate feedback compared to NCC. People with BPD also felt less close to the member providing predominantly positive feedback compared to NCC, which appeared to be mediated by degree of fearful attachment. People with BPD showed altered bold responses to social feedback in temporal parietal junction and the anterior cingulate cortex compared to NCC. Findings indicate that people with BPD experience pervasive negative self-views that may interfere with forming relationships. New interactions may reinforce a fearful pattern of relating as existing (negative) views of the self are activated and subject to confirmation. These complexities have important clinical implications for the therapeutic alliance. Balancing a supportive and expressive stance may foster the therapeutic alliance while challenging negative self-views.
