“…Perhaps the most prominent mechanism of the fight/flight response is reactivity, because the intensity of emotion that a threatening stimulus evokes largely determines the intensity of the behavioral response (Avero and Calvo 1999;Tragesser et al 2008). Increased reactivity has been linked to both anxiety (Carthy et al 2010a, b) and aggression (Valiente et al 2003).…”

“…A more recent study found that participants with BPD exhibited greater autonomic reactivity to idiographic social rejection or abandonment scripts, but not to standard negative scripts, compared with healthy controls (Limberg, Barnow, Freyberger, & Hamm, 2011). Among university students, BP features were associated with greater emotional reactivity to an imagined teasing scenario (Tragesser, Lippman, Trull, & Barrett, 2008). Although illuminating, these results may reflect the relative severity of the life events recalled by participants with BPD rather than vulnerability to social rejection cues per se.…”

The present study examined the emotional reactivity of persons with heightened borderline personality (BP) features to social rejection and negative evaluation in the laboratory. Individuals with high levels of BP features (n = 30) and controls with low levels of BP features (n = 44) were randomly assigned to a condition involving negative evaluation based on writing (negative evaluation/academic), or a condition involving negative evaluation based on personal characteristics as well as social rejection (negative evaluation/social rejection). Hypothesis 1 was that high-BP individuals, but not low-BP controls, would show greater emotional reactivity to the negative evaluation/social rejection stressor, compared with the negative evaluation/academic (writing) stressor. Hypothesis 2 was that high-BP individuals would specifically show greater reactivity of shame- and anger-related emotions to the negative evaluation/social rejection stressor compared with the negative evaluation/academic stressor. Findings indicated that high-BP individuals showed heightened emotional reactivity to the social rejection stressor but not to the negative evaluation stressor, but the opposite pattern occurred for controls. In addition, there was evidence for heightened reactivity of irritability, distress, and shame for the high-BP group, specifically in the social rejection condition.

“…According to the literature, however, although high levels of borderline personality features is usually defined as a clinical problem, there are also many undiagnosed individuals with severe borderline personality features (Berkson, 1946;Lenzenweger, 2008). As several studies (Ayduk et al, 2007;Jarnecke, Miller & South, 2015;Tragesser, Lippman, Trull & Barrett, 2008;Tragesser & Robinson, 2009), also did, assumed that choosing participants from within the community is useful for understanding these features within a community setting.…”

“…Previous research suggests that a disrupted (Black, 2010;Lowmaster, 2013;Rizvi, 2004) and disintegrated sense of self (Bateman & Fonagy, 2004;Kernberg, 1996) distorted perceptions of both self and others (Arntz, Dietzel & Dreessen, 1999;Clarkin, Yeomans & Kernberg, 2006) negative emotional attributions (Beck, Freeman & Davis, 2004;Feliu-Soler et al, 2013) biased thinking (Renneberg et al, 2012;Tragesser, Lippman, Trull & Barrett 2008) emotion regulation difficulties (Linehan, 1993;van Dijke et al, 2010) and emotion recognition problems (Farrell, 1994) are among the important problems in individuals with borderline personality features. These problems may contribute to mood shifts, relationship problems and negative attitudes about self (Cheavens, Strunk & Chriki, 2012) which may cause impulsive behaviours, feelings of emptiness and perceived rejection (Linehan, 1993).…”
