TI  - Dimensional personality profiles of borderline personality disorder in comparison 
      with other personality disorders and healthy controls.
PG  - 135-47
AB  - The present study examined the sensitivity and clinical specificity of 
      dimensional personality profiles associated with borderline personality disorder 
      (BPD) by comparing three groups of patients: (a) patients with BPD according to 
      DSM-IV criteria (n = 31); (b) patients with other DSM-IV PD (n = 31); and (c) 
      general population controls (n = 31). All three samples were matched for age and 
      gender and the two patient samples were matched for chronicity and depressive 
      symptoms. All patients were given the Six-Factor Test measuring the five-factor 
      model of personality (FFM), the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), and 
      the Dimensional Assessment of Personality Pathology (DAPP). Nonparametric 
      statistics were applied to analyze the data (Mann-Whitney-U-tests for group 
      comparisons; Spearman's coefficients for correlational analyses). Neuroticism 
      (FFM), Self-Directedness (TCI), and Emotional Dysregulation (DAPP) were 
      identified as general markers of personality pathology, which were significantly 
      interrelated in all three samples. BPD patients also showed a specific profile 
      compared with other PD patients with lower scores on Agreeableness (FFM), higher 
      scores on Novelty Seeking and Self-Transcendence (TCI), and higher scores on the 
      DAPP higher-order dimensions of Emotional Dysregulation, Dissocial Behavior, and 
      Inhibitedness. Results support the assumption that BPD can be characterized by 
      dimensional approaches with sufficient sensitivity in comparison with healthy 
      controls and specificity in comparison with other PD patients.
