项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this Research Career Development Award (K01) is to provide a five-year career development and research training program that will enable the candidate to conduct research on the role of affective instability (AI) in the development of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) during childhood and adolescence in girls. BPD is a complex and debilitating disorder associated with frequent suicidal behavior, intense and chronic misery, and high rates of treatment utilization. BPD is usually first diagnosed in young adulthood and is disproportionately diagnosed in women. There are four key features of BPD: AI, interpersonal dysfunction, behavioral undercontrol, and identity disturbance. Major theories suggest that AI plays a primary role in the development of BPD and that parental response to affect is especially important in buffering or conferring risk for those girls with high levels of AI. However, little longitudinal research has been conducted on etiological mechanisms underlying the developmental course of BPD. To address this need, the training and research plan incorporates both behavioral and psychophysiological approaches in a longitudinal framework to investigate the role of AI in the development of other features of BPD in adolescent girls. The candidate will pursue training in developmental research methodology pertinent to adolescent girls, assessment of affect in the natural environment using ecological momentary assessment (EMA), and the psychophysiology of emotion under the mentorship of Dr. Paul Pilkonis, co-mentor Greg Siegle, and an expert team of consultants, including Drs. Rolf Loeber and Ronald Dahl. The proposed research will utilize EMA, psychophysiological (pupillometry), and questionnaire measures to examine associations between AI and other features of BPD in adolescent girls over time. Additionally, the impact of parental response to affect on features of BPD will be examined. The proposed research goals will be achieved in a prospective substudy of a longitudinal investigation of girls' emotional and behavioral health (Pittsburgh Girls Study: PGS). This project will recruit 110 16 year-old girls from the PGS, sampling the full range of AI severity. These training and research activities will place the candidate in a position to conduct translational research on social and biological factors in the etiology of BPD.

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究职业发展奖（K01）的目标是提供一项五年的职业发展和研究培训计划，使候选人能够在儿童期和青少年期间对童年人格障碍（BPD）的发展作用进行研究。 BPD是一种复杂而令人衰弱的障碍，与频繁的自杀行为，强烈和慢性痛苦以及高度治疗率有关。 BPD通常在成年后首次被诊断出，在女性中被诊断不成比例。 BPD有四个关键特征：AI，人际功能障碍，控制障碍和身份干扰。主要理论表明，AI在BPD的发展中起着主要作用，而父母对情感的反应在缓冲或赋予那些AI水平高的女孩的风险方面尤其重要。但是，关于BPD发育过程的基础的病因机制，几乎没有进行纵向研究。为了满足这一需求，培训和研究计划将行为和心理生理学方法纳入了纵向框架中，以研究AI在BPD在青春期女孩中其他特征发展中的作用。候选人将在发展研究方法学方面进行与青少年女孩有关的培训，使用生态瞬时评估（EMA）对自然环境中的影响以及在Paul Pilkonis博士的指导下，同事Greg Siegle以及包括Drs在内的顾问的专家团队的情感心理生理学。 Rolf Loeber和Ronald Dahl。拟议的研究将利用EMA，心理生理学（瞳孔测定法）和问卷调查，以检查AI与BPD在青春期女孩中随着时间的推移的关联。此外，将研究父母反应对影响对BPD特征的影响。拟议的研究目标将在对女孩情绪和行为健康的纵向研究的前瞻性基础上实现（匹兹堡女孩研究：PGS）。该项目将招募来自PGS的110名16岁女孩，从而对AI严重程度进行了全部抽样。这些培训和研究活动将使候选人在BPD病因中对社会和生物学因素进行翻译研究。
