Summary

The five-factor model (FFM) partially explains borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, unique aspects of BPD, such as childhood abuse history, remain unexplained by the FFM, suggesting its limitations in fully capturing BPD.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology
  • Personality Disorders

Background:

  • The five-factor model (FFM) is proposed as an alternative framework for understanding personality disorders.
  • Concerns exist that the FFM may not fully encompass the complexity of borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the construct validity of BPD within the FFM framework.
  • To examine antecedent, concurrent, and predictive markers related to BPD not explained by the FFM.

Main Methods:

  • A sample of 362 patients diagnosed with personality disorders was analyzed.
  • The study assessed the relationship between the FFM and BPD diagnosis, including residual variance.

Main Results:

  • Neuroticism was the strongest single FFM trait distinguishing BPD from non-BPD patients.

  • The FFM accounted for a significant portion of the variance in BPD.
  • Residual variance in BPD, unexplained by the FFM, correlated with childhood abuse, family history of mood/substance disorders, and clinical outcomes.

    • Conclusions:

    • While the FFM captures substantial variance in BPD, it does not fully represent the construct.
    • Specific etiological and clinical factors associated with BPD are not adequately explained by the FFM alone.
