Individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) may exhibit impaired source memory, particularly concerning interpersonal antagonism like suspiciousness. This deficit appears distinct from general memory issues or depression.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Source memory deficits are observed in schizophrenia, linked to interpersonal antagonism.
  • Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by interpersonal difficulties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate source memory function in individuals with BPD.
  • To examine the relationship between source memory deficits and interpersonal antagonism in BPD.

Main Methods:

  • A verbal source memory test (hot vs. cold sentences) was administered to 41 adults with BPD and 26 healthy controls.
  • Self-report measures of suspiciousness, interpersonal antagonism (Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory), and depression (Beck Depression Inventory) were used.

Main Results:

  • The BPD group did not differ from controls in overall source memory, recognition, or emotional enhancement.
  • Poorer self-referential source memory in the BPD group correlated significantly with hostility and suspiciousness, but not depression.
  • Generic item recognition memory was not associated with hostility.

Conclusions:

  • Source memory impairments in BPD may be specifically linked to interpersonal antagonism, independent of general memory or mood.
  • These findings suggest a potential neurocognitive basis for the interpersonal disturbances characteristic of BPD.
