虽然父母的情绪社会化和儿童气质的理论相互作用的边缘型人格障碍（BPD）功能的预测，很少有研究直接研究这些关系。本研究探讨了父母的情绪社会化是否与行为评级和情绪脆弱性的生理指标在预测青春期前儿童的BPD功能相互作用。参与者是125名儿童（10-12岁; 55%为女性）和他们的父母从社区招募。父母和儿童报告儿童的BPD功能和父母完成了一项措施的支持性和非支持性的情感社会化。儿童的情绪脆弱性进行了评估的基础上，父母的负性/不稳定性和情绪调节技能和儿童的呼吸性窦性心律失常（RSA）和皮肤电导水平（SCL）的反应，社会压力。父母的支持性反应，非支持性反应，和儿童的情绪反应出现了几个显着的相互作用。当父母的支持性反应高和/或非支持性反应低，孩子的情感脆弱性低（例如，低消极/不稳定性，良好的情绪调节技能，或对压力的低SCL反应性）。这些研究结果表明，特定的情绪社会化因素与儿童的情绪反应的相互作用，可能会预测风险的BPD功能在青春期前。未来的研究需要复制这些发现，并检查这种相互作用是否前瞻性地预测BPD特征的轨迹。
Although parent emotion socialization and child temperament are theorized to interact in the prediction of borderline personality disorder (BPD) features, few studies have directly examined these relationships. The present study examined whether parental emotion socialization interacted with behavioral ratings and physiological indicators of emotional vulnerability in the prediction of BPD features among preadolescent children. Participants were 125 children (10-12 years; 55% female) and their parents recruited from the community. Parents and children reported on children's BPD features and parents completed a measure of supportive and non-supportive emotion socialization. Children's emotional vulnerability was assessed based on parent-rated negativity/lability and emotion regulation skills and children's respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) and skin conductance level (SCL) reactivity to a social stressor. Several significant interactions of parent supportive reactions, non-supportive reactions, and child emotional reactivity emerged. Children were lowest in BPD features when parents were high in supportive reactions and/or low in non-supportive reactions and the child was low in emotional vulnerability (e.g., low negativity/lability, good emotion regulation skills, or low SCL reactivity to stress). These findings suggest that specific emotion socialization factors in interaction with children's emotional reactivity may predict risk for BPD features in preadolescence. Future research is needed to replicate these findings and examine whether this interaction prospectively predicts trajectories of BPD features.
