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.

The present study assesses the reciprocal and longitudinal associations between positive emotion dysregulation and BPD features. Participants were 149 community women currently experiencing intimate partner violence and using substances (Mage = 40.3, 30.8% Black). BPD was assessed at baseline via a clinician-administered diagnostic interview. Participants self-reported on positive emotion dysregulation and BPD features at baseline and 1-month follow-up sessions. Positive emotion dysregulation did not significantly predict BPD features at 1-month follow-up when controlling for initial BPD features (β = -.09, SE = 0.07, p = .21, confidence interval [CI] [-0.23, 0.10]). However, BPD features did significantly predict positive emotion dysregulation at 1-month follow-up, when controlling for initial positive emotion dysregulation (β = .25, SE = 0.10, p = .01, CI [0.07, 0.44]). This study offers initial insight into the nature of the association between BPD and positive emotion dysregulation over time among women experiencing intimate partner violence and using substances. Findings highlight the role of BPD features in the exacerbation of positive emotion dysregulation, which may inform targeted assessments and treatments in this area.

However, the integration of LPF within HiTOP remains unclear. Using bivariate correlation and linear regression analyses, this study assessed the associations between LPF and HiTOP spectra (externalizing antisocial, externalizing drug use, internalizing, antagonism, detachment, and psychoticism). A sample of 1,183 participants (46.2% female, Mage = 31.3 ± 14.8 years) from the Italian community completed various self-report measures to capture impairments in personality functioning, and several psychopathology symptoms. Bivariate correlations and regression analyses showed that the LPF facets were consistently associated with all HiTOP domains, even though the LPF measures used in this study appeared more reflective of internalizing symptoms than externalizing ones. The identity facet of LPF was uniquely associated with all outcome criteria, whereas no unique associations were evident for self-direction. Empathy facet had the highest association with antagonism while intimacy presented the highest relation with detachment. Overall, the evidence presented in this study partially supports the construct validity of Criterion A, highlighting its relevance across a wide range of psychopathological symptoms and its potential utility in clinical assessment beyond formal personality disorder diagnoses. Thus, this study may contribute to the understanding of LPF's role in the dimensional model of psychopathology and underscores the importance of considering personality functioning in the assessment and treatment of mental disorders.

This study investigated how factors relevant to self-other distinction (i.e., emotion contagion and personal distress) were related to social schizotypal personality traits, in two experiments involving healthy young adults. Subclinical depressive symptoms, alexithymia, and obsessive-compulsive traits, were explored as potential mediators of the relationship between personal distress and schizotypy. Experiment 1 showed that high sadness contagion predicted personal distress, which in turn predicted cognitive disorganization. This relationship was mediated by low mood. Experiment 2 revealed that high personal distress predicted excessive social anxiety and ideas of reference, as well as obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Personal distress also predicted difficulty identifying feelings, an aspect of alexithymia that could develop as a result of difficulties in disentangling emotional experiences related to the self and others. However, it was difficulty describing feelings that predicted social anhedonia, constricted affect, and no close friends. While personal distress was a positive predictor of empathic concern, social anhedonia was a negative predictor. These findings suggest that personal distress and difficulty identifying feelings predict more anxious and disorganized aspects of schizotypy, as well as subclinical depressive and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Future research should investigate whether this profile, which may be more closely related to low self-other distinction, contrasts with a more socially avoidant presentation, characterized by negative schizotypal traits such as social anhedonia and lower empathy.

There has been recent renewed interest in this topic across a wide range of fields, from clinical psychology to social neuroscience and experimental psychology. This special section on \"Self-Other Distinction in Personality Disorders\" is therefore very timely, particularly given the shift to dimensional views of personality pathology with an emphasis on impairment in self and relatedness. In this editorial, we first summarize the various research traditions concerning the potential role of SOD impairment in PDs, including recent advancements in social neuroscience and experimental psychology focusing on the mechanisms that might underlie SOD. We then discuss the main contributions of the five highly innovative articles in this special section. Together, these articles highlight the potential value of a focus on PDs through the lens of SOD impairments in order to better understand key features of this group of disorders, such as emotional contagion, perspective-taking difficulties, blurred embodied self-other boundaries, and self-other coordination difficulties. Our increasing insights into SOD problems can also be expected to increase the effectiveness of treatments for PDs and related conditions. Yet, much work remains to be done in this area, and we end this editorial by discussing a number of potential avenues for translational research in this regard.

Because of the multifaceted nature of social cognition, deficits might be only observed when assessing specific facets of social cognition and under sufficiently demanding conditions. This study examined self-other distinction performance, a key facet lying at the core of the attachment-based model of mentalizing (Fonagy & Luyten, 2009). Twenty-one forensic inpatients with ASPD and 19 participants from the community completed a visual perspective-taking paradigm allowing to tease apart self-other priority (i.e., how self-focused one is) from self-other distinction performance (i.e., how much one confuses his with others' mental states). The ASPD group made significantly more errors at handling conflicting self-other viewpoints when requiring self-other distinction (19%) than the control group (4%), but the ASPD group was not significantly more self-focused. In contrast, the Interpersonal Reactivity Index self-report scale did not differentiate the two groups. However, a novel measure of self-other distinction based on empathic concern (i.e., the tendency to experience feelings of concern and compassion for others) and personal distress subscales (i.e., the tendency to experience personal distress in response to the distress of others) did differentiate the two groups, albeit to a significantly lower extent than the objective measure of self-other distinction. Altogether, these findings indicate the presence of a self-other distinction deficit in ASPD and advocate for psychometric approaches that embrace the multifaceted nature of social cognition and the need for objective measures with sufficient sensitivity.

Since adolescence is a critical developmental period from the emergence of personality disorders, it is crucial to understand how both Criterion A (the level of personality functioning) and Criterion B (maladaptive personality traits) contribute to various domains of psychosocial functioning in this age group. To address this research gap, the current study evaluated the extent to which Criterion A and Criterion B of the alternative model for personality disorders predict psychosocial functioning in community-based sample adolescents over a 1-year period, beyond the overall psychopathology and baseline levels of psychosocial functioning. The study involved 855 adolescents aged 11-18 (M = 14.44, SD = 1.60; 62.5% female) at baseline and followed up 1 year later, achieving a 94% retention rate. Measurements included the assessments of the level of personality functioning, maladaptive personality traits, overall psychopathology, academic functioning, social functioning, and well-being. The findings indicated that while both Criterion A and Criterion B are associated with lower levels of psychosocial functioning 1 year later, their contributions varied across domains. Criterion A significantly predicted functioning in social and well-being domains, while Criterion B predicted social difficulties only. Neither Criterion A nor Criterion B was significant in predicting academic functioning. Psychoticism contributed to the experience of social rebuff, while detachment was uniquely linked to a lower quality of life. The results contribute to the understanding of how dimensionally defined personality pathology affects psychosocial functioning, adding a prospective perspective during adolescence.

Using a nationally diverse community sample of 490 employed romantic couples from the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study, cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses examined the associations among psychopathy facets (fearless dominance, self-centered impulsivity, and coldheartedness), relationship satisfaction, and professional success. Cross-sectional dyadic modeling indicated that an individual's coldheartedness was negatively associated with their partner's occupational prestige, although there was no evidence that partner's relationship satisfaction mediated this link. Furthermore, the associations between psychopathy and professional success at the individual level were partially mediated by a person's own relationship satisfaction. Longitudinal dyadic modeling suggested that an individual's self-centered impulsivity negatively predicted their partner's relationship satisfaction and positively predicted their partner's occupational prestige over time.

Although mentalizing problems in adults with BPD have been amply demonstrated, research in adolescence lags behind in terms of both the normative development of mentalizing in adolescence and the relation between different dimensions of mentalizing and adolescent BPD. Therefore, the current study investigated developmental trends and sex-related differences related to different mentalizing dimensions and the associations between mentalizing dimensions and BPD features in a large group of adolescents (N = 456, Mage = 15.4 years, range = 12-19) oversampled for risk status for psychopathology. The results demonstrated that age was not associated with increases in the capacity for mentalizing, with one exception: externally based mentalizing improved with age. Girls reported greater difficulties in self-focused, internal, and affective mentalizing, but at the same time also higher levels of other-focused, internal, affective, and cognitive mentalizing than boys. Adolescent BPD features were mainly associated with difficulties in understanding, differentiating, and expressing emotions and elevated sensitivity and concern for the feelings of others. Specifically, problems with self-focused, internally based, affective mentalizing best predicted BPD features both categorically and dimensionally. The implications of these findings for our understanding of the relation between mentalizing and BPD in adolescents will be discussed.
