尽管女囚犯遭受创伤的比例很高，但很少有研究探讨精神病与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）之间的联系，或者边缘性人格障碍特征的潜在中介作用。通过使用精神病态检查表修订版 (PCL-R) 进行评估，我们利用被监禁女性样本，确定了精神病态各个方面与潜在创伤事件 (PTE) 和 PTSD 症状之间的差异关联。具体来说，人际和情感方面与 PTE 和 PTSD 无关，而生活方式和反社会方面均与 PTE 相关，反社会方面与 PTSD 症状唯一相关。边缘性人格障碍特征充分解释了反社会方面与 PTE 和 PTSD 之间的关联，而生活方式方面则逐渐对 PTE 的预测做出了贡献。研究结果阐明了精神病、创伤、创伤后应激障碍和边缘性人格障碍特征之间的联系，并加深了我们对女性精神病临床表现的理解。
Despite the high prevalence of trauma exposure in female prisoners, few studies have examined the link between psychopathy and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)—or the potential mediating role of borderline personality disorder traits. Using a sample of incarcerated women, we identified differential associations across facets of psychopathy, as assessed via the Psychopathy Checklist–Revised (PCL–R), with potentially traumatic events (PTE) and symptoms of PTSD. Specifically, the Interpersonal and Affective facets were unrelated to both PTE and PTSD, while the Lifestyle and Antisocial facets were each associated with PTE and the Antisocial facet was uniquely associated with PTSD symptoms. Borderline personality disorder traits fully accounted for the association between the Antisocial facet and both PTE and PTSD, while the Lifestyle facet contributed incrementally to the prediction of PTE. The findings clarify linkages among psychopathy, trauma, PTSD, and borderline personality disorder traits, and extend our understanding of the clinical presentation of psychopathy in women.
