Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to predict Borderline Personality Disorder in terms of childhood traumatic events (i.e., the history of maltreatment, early losses and separation from family members) with the mediating role of emotion dysregulation. In this regard, 413 participants were selected through multistage sampling from all the students studying at Tehran University. The Demographic Questionnaire, the Difficulties in the Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), the Borderline Personality Scale and the Child Abuse Questionnaire, were used to measure the variables. The raw data collected, was analyzed by structural equation modeling. The findings were similar to the results of previous studies. The results revealed that the theoretical model is suitably fit and childhood traumatic experiences (especially emotional abuse) and emotion dysregulation are good predictors for borderline personality disorder.
