People with personality disorder traits are perceived negatively by peers. These perceptions remained consistent over two years, particularly for those high in detachment, indicating stable interpersonal evaluations.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Interpersonal perceptions are crucial for social functioning.
  • Understanding the stability of these perceptions, especially concerning personality disorder features, is important.
  • Previous research has explored personality disorder traits but less on the consistency of peer perceptions over time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the consistency of interpersonal perceptions of individuals with personality disorder features.
  • To examine if peer evaluations of personality disorder traits remain stable over a two-year period.
  • To explore the relationship between specific personality disorder features and negative peer reactions.

Main Methods:

  • 82 college students assessed for personality disorder features via self-report and peer nominations (Time 1).

  • Participants engaged in group discussions two years later (Time 2).
  • Peer members ranked each other on personality traits and behavioral attributes after group meetings.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant consistency was found between initial peer nominations (Time 1) and later peer rankings (Time 2).
    • A strong correlation emerged between personality disorder features and negative peer evaluations.
    • Individuals high in detachment elicited the most negative reactions from peers.

    Conclusions:

    • Interpersonal perceptions of individuals with personality disorder features demonstrate notable consistency over time.
    • Negative peer evaluations are closely linked to the presence of personality disorder features.
    • Detachment as a personality trait is associated with particularly adverse peer reactions.
