This instability manifests in extreme emotional reactions, fear of abandonment, and self-destructive behaviors. The disorder significantly impacts daily functioning, often leading to distress in both personal and professional domains.

Parenting Styles

195
Diana Baumrind's four parenting styles — authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful, and permissive — each influence children's socio-emotional development differently.

Authoritative...

In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Cognitive Development During Adolescence01:18

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

162
During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychiatry
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a serious mental health condition affecting adolescents.
  • Parenting styles are known to influence adolescent development and mental health outcomes.
  • The specific impact of various parenting components on BPD features requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the associations between perceived parenting practices and borderline personality disorder (BPD) in adolescents.
  • To explore the relationships between specific components of parenting and various BPD features.
  • To highlight the role of chaotic parenting in adolescent BPD.

Main Methods:

  • Adolescents (N=270, mean age=15.3) self-reported BPD features using the Personality Assessment Inventory.
  • Participants also assessed their parents' parenting practices via the Parents as Social Context Questionnaire and Perceived Parental Autonomy Support Scale.
  • Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the data.

Main Results:

  • Controlling, rejecting, and chaotic parenting styles were all found to predict global BPD in adolescents.
  • Each of these parenting components demonstrated significant associations with at least one specific BPD feature.
  • Chaotic parenting emerged as a particularly important factor in the development of early BPD.

Conclusions:

  • Perceived parenting significantly influences the development of borderline personality disorder in adolescents.
  • Controlling, rejecting, and chaotic parenting are risk factors for adolescent BPD.
  • Chaotic parenting warrants greater attention in research and clinical interventions for early BPD.
