这项实验室研究考察了边缘性人格（BP）特征增强的人对社会拒绝压力源的情绪反应。参与者高水平的BP功能（n = 43）和控制与低水平的BP功能（n = 67）被随机分配到一个条件，涉及负面评价和社会拒绝的基础上的个人特征，或一个条件，涉及一个令人沮丧的算术任务和负面评价的基础上的性能。假设是，高血压的人会表现出更大的增加，在社会拒绝/负面评价的压力源，与令人沮丧的算术任务相比，在负面情绪，羞耻和愤怒。高血压组在这两种情况下的负面情绪都有显著增加，只有在令人沮丧的算术任务中，羞耻感才有显著增加，只有在社会排斥条件下，敌意才有显著增加。相比之下，低血压对照组在令人沮丧的算术条件下，一般表现出显着的负面情绪增加，特别是在社交拒绝条件下，表现出羞耻感。这些研究结果突出了情绪和上下文特定性质的情绪反应与BP功能。
This laboratory study examined the emotional reactivity of persons with heightened borderline personality (BP) features to a social rejection stressor. Participants with high levels of BP features (n = 43) and controls with low levels of BP features (n = 67) were randomly assigned to a condition involving negative evaluation and social rejection based on personal characteristics, or to a condition involving a frustrating arithmetic task and negative evaluation based on performance. Hypotheses were that the high-BP individuals would demonstrate greater increases in negative emotions, shame, and anger in response to the social rejection/negative evaluation stressor, compared with the frustrating arithmetic task. The high-BP group showed significant increases in negative emotions in both conditions, significant increases in shame only in the frustrating arithmetic task, and significant increases in hostility only in the social rejection condition. In contrast, low-BP controls showed significant increases in negative emotions generally in the frustrating arithmetic condition and shame specifically in the social rejection condition. These findings highlight the emotion and context-specific nature of emotional reactivity in relation to BP features.
