Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Impulsivity is heightened in antisocial (ASPD) and borderline personality disorders (BPD). While both show self-reported impulsivity, experimental tasks reveal distinct impulse control deficits in response inhibition and delay discounting specific to each disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Impulsivity is a key trait in personality disorders (PDs), particularly cluster B.
  • Understanding specific impulsivity deficits in cluster B PDs is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent findings (past 3 years) on impulsivity in cluster B PDs.
  • To identify affected subcomponents of self-reported impulsivity and experimentally measured impulse control.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on antisocial PD (ASPD) and borderline PD (BPD).
  • Analysis of self-report scales and experimental tasks measuring impulse control (e.g., response inhibition, delay discounting).

Main Results:

  • Studies focused on ASPD and BPD; narcissistic and histrionic PDs were not covered.
  • Both ASPD and BPD exhibit heightened self-reported impulsivity.
  • ASPD patients showed response inhibition deficits; BPD patients showed delay discounting and proactive interference deficits.
  • Stress and negative affect differentially impacted impulse control measures in BPD.

Conclusions:

  • Heightened impulsivity is a core trait in ASPD and BPD, aligning with DSM-5.
  • Distinct experimental impulse control deficits characterize ASPD and BPD.
  • Momentary assessment of impulsive behaviors may enhance clinical practice and ecological validity.
