Abstract

While the association between an invalidating childhood environment and borderline personality traits is well-established, the psychological mechanisms underlying this relationship remain insufficiently understood. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of negative beliefs about emotions and their subdimensions in the relationship between an invalidating childhood environment and borderline personality traits in adulthood. The sample consisted of 420 Turkish adults aged between 18 and 40 years. Participants completed the Invalidating Childhood Environment Scale, the Borderline Personality Traits Questionnaire, and the Beliefs about Emotions Questionnaire through an online survey. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis and regression-based path analyses based on Hayes’ bootstrap mediation approach with 5,000 resamples. The results indicated that an invalidating childhood environment was positively associated with both borderline personality traits and negative beliefs about emotions, and that negative beliefs about emotions were also positively associated with borderline personality traits. Mediation analyses demonstrated that overall negative beliefs about emotions (95% CI [.04, .13]), overwhelming/uncontrollable beliefs (95% CI [.07, .19]), shameful/irrational beliefs (95% CI [.03, .12]), and damaging beliefs (95% CI [.01, .08]) each significantly mediated this relationship. Overall, the findings suggest that maladaptive beliefs about emotions constitute a key psychological mechanism through which childhood emotional invalidation may increase vulnerability to borderline personality traits in adulthood.

Özet

Çocuklukta onaylamayan çevre ile borderline kişilik özellikleri arasındaki ilişki iyi bilinmekle birlikte, bu ilişkiye aracılık eden psikolojik mekanizmalar büyük ölçüde yeterince incelenmemiştir. Bu çalışma, çocuklukta onaylamayan çevre ile yetişkinlikteki borderline kişilik özellikleri arasındaki ilişkide duygulara ilişkin olumsuz inançların ve bu inançların alt boyutlarının aracı rolünü incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Örneklem, yaşları 18–40 arasında değişen 420 Türk yetişkinden oluşmaktadır. Katılımcılar Çocuklukta Onaylamayan Çevre Ölçeği, Borderline Kişilik Özellikleri Ölçeği ve Duygulara İlişkin İnançlar Ölçeği’ni çevrim içi ortamda doldurmuş; veriler Pearson korelasyon analizi ve Hayes’in bootstrap temelli aracılık yaklaşımına dayalı, 5.000 yeniden örnekleme ile yürütülen regresyon temelli yol analizleri kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, çocuklukta onaylamayan çevrenin borderline kişilik özellikleri ve duygulara ilişkin olumsuz inançlarla pozitif ilişkili olduğunu; ayrıca duygulara ilişkin olumsuz inançların da borderline kişilik özellikleriyle pozitif ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Aracılık analizi sonuçları, duygulara ilişkin genel olumsuz inançların (%95 GA [.04, .13]), bunaltıcı/kontrol edilemez (%95 GA [.07, .19]), utanç verici/irrasyonel (%95 GA [.03, .12]) ve zarar verici inançların (%95 GA [.01, .08]) bu ilişkide anlamlı aracı rol üstlendiğini ortaya koymuştur. Genel olarak bulgular, çocuklukta onaylamayan bir çevrede büyümenin, borderline kişilik özelliklerine yönelik kırılganlığı artırmasında duygulara ilişkin uyumsuz inançların temel bir psikolojik mekanizma oluşturduğunu göstermektedir.
