本研究的主要目的是通过将回避型人格障碍（APD）患者的情感不稳定性与边缘型人格障碍（BPD）患者以及健康对照者的情感不稳定性进行比较，来研究情感不稳定性是否在回避型人格障碍（APD）患者中升高。患有BPD、APD或无精神病理学的成人（N= 152，年龄18-65岁）参加了一项为期3周的计算机日记研究。我们研究了时间不稳定性的负面影响，使用经验抽样方法。无论是在几天之内和之间，与健康对照个体相比，APD个体表现出更大的情感不稳定性，尽管与BPD个体相比情感不稳定性较低。这些发现与情感不稳定（或情绪不稳定）作为人格障碍相关的关键维度是一致的。此外，他们强调需要对APD的情感特征（以及更容易识别的人际特征）进行研究和临床关注。
The current study’s main goal was to examine whether affective instability is elevated among individuals suffering from avoidant personality disorder (APD) by comparing it to the affective instability found among individuals suffering from borderline personality disorder (BPD) as well that found among healthy controls. Adults (N= 152, aged 18–65 years) with BPD, APD, or no psychopathology participated in a 3-week computerized diary study. We examined temporal instability in negative affect using experience-sampling methods. Both within and between days, individuals with APD showed greater affective instability compared to the healthy control individuals, although less affective instability compared to individuals with BPD. The findings are in line with affective instability (or emotional lability) as a key dimension relevant across personality disorders. Additionally, they emphasize the need for research and clinical attention to affective characteristics (alongside the more readily recognized interpersonal characteristics) of APD.
