Affective instability is a core feature of borderline personality disorder (BPD).The use advanced assessment methodologies and appropriate statistical analyses has led to consistent findings that indicate heightened in patients with BPD compared healthy controls.However, few studies have investigated the specificity affective among regard relevant clinical control groups.In this study, 43 BPD, 28 posttraumatic stress (PTSD), 20 bulimia nervosa
Ambulatory Assessment (AA) studies have proliferated in mental health science, promising unparalleled insights into the dynamic nature of health. The high methodological heterogeneity AA calls for harmonization approaches and establishment research standards. This expert consensus provides an overview best-practice recommendations to integrate research. We queried 26 experts field a Delphi-adapted process, resulting regarding eight topics, encompassing considerations, technological...
<ns3:p>Background Universal Mental Health Training for Frontline Professionals (UMHT) is an educational programme developed and piloted in Ukraine 2021-2023. The UMHT trains frontline professionals (FLPs) to interact with, support, refer individuals with mental health conditions professional help. Methods To assess the feasibility four focus areas (programme’s demand, acceptability, adaptability, extendability), we used statistics on actual use of programme, as well data from satisfaction...
Real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) neurofeedback training of amygdala hemodynamic activity directly targets a neurobiological mechanism, which contributes to emotion regulation problems in borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, it remains unknown outcome measures can assess changes and affective instability, associated with downregulation clinical trial. The current study addresses this question. Twenty-four female patients DSM-IV BPD diagnosis underwent four...
Abstract. In longitudinal studies with short time lags, classical models of latent state-trait (LST) theory that assume no carry-over effects between neighboring occasions measurement are often inappropriate, and have to be extended by including autoregressive effects. The way in which should defined LST is still an open question. a recently published revision (LST-R theory), Steyer, Mayer, Geiser, Cole (2015) stated the trait-state-occasion (TSO) model ( Cole, Martin, & Steiger, 2005 ),...
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is defined by a pervasive pattern of instability. Although there ample empirical evidence that unstable self-esteem associated with myriad BPD-like symptoms, instability and its temporal dynamics have received little attention in patients BPD. Even worse, the interplay affective has been neglected completely, although it hypothesized recently lack specificity association BPD might be explained highly intertwined relationship between To investigate...
Abstract Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a considerable health problem among adolescents. Affect regulation by means of may promote the maintenance NSSI. However, existing findings have limited ecological validity. The present study aimed to assess emotional and interpersonal states preceding following incidents NSSI in female Adolescents with NSSI-disorder completed momentary assessments affective on an hourly basis for multiple days. Multilevel mixed-effect regression analyses were...
Digital phenotyping promises to unobtrusively obtaining a continuous and objective input of symptomatology from patients' daily lives. The prime example are bipolar disorders, as smartphone parameters directly reflect symptomatology. Empirical studies, however, have yielded inconsistent findings. We believe that three main shortcomings be addressed fully leverage the potential digital phenotyping: short assessment periods, rare outcome assessments, an extreme fragmentation without...
Affective dysregulation is widely regarded as being the core problem in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Moreover, BPD mainly associated affective dysregulation. However, empirical confirmation of specificity for still pending. We used a validated approach from basic science that allows simultaneously analyzing three interdependent components are disturbed BPD: homebase, variability, and attractor strength (return to baseline).

The aim of this study was to assess emotional dysregulation (ED) and sexual risk behavior (SRB) in borderline personality disorder (BPD) investigate the relationship between ED, SRB other clinical variables. Sixty-one women with BPD 76 healthy controls (HCs) completed: Scale, DERS, Inventory Statements About Self-Injury, SUPPS-P, HADS, Mental Pain Checklist. group exhibited higher levels SRB, psychological pain, anxiety, depression, impulsivity than HCs. In group, significant correlations...
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a severe mental health condition that requires intensive psychotherapeutic treatment. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) specialized treatment approach for BPD with broad empirical evidence. However, as other disorder-specific treatments, the effect sizes of standard DBT are only modest and access to limited. To enhance efficacy DBT, we developed an adaptation called Trauma-Focused (TF-DBT), which based on principles, modes, functions DBT. The goal...
We present MoA2, a context-aware smartphone app for the ambulatory assessment of mood, tiredness and stress level. In principle, it has two features: (1) mood (2) recognition. The system combines benefits state art approaches. recognition is concluded by smartphone-based wearable sensing. formative study, we evaluated usability unobtrusiveness our assessment. A median SUS score 90 shows high usability. Subjects reported an easy, fast intuitive use. was in terms classification accuracy....
Inefficient mechanisms of emotional regulation appear essential in understanding the development and maintenance binge-eating disorder (BED). Previous research focused mainly on a very limited emotion strategies BED, such as rumination, suppression, positive reappraisal. Therefore, aim study was to assess wider range (i.e. acceptance, refocusing planning, refocusing, reappraisal, putting into perspective, self-blame, other-blame, catastrophizing), well associations between those...

The goal this study was examine specificity these previous findings 2 samples by comparing BPD patients (N = 43 sample 1; N 81 2) bulimia nervosa...
ObjectiveAcademic examinations are a frequent and significant source of student stress, but multimodal, psychophysiological studies still missing. Participants & methods: Psychological physiological variables were assessed on 154 undergraduate students in daily life using e-diaries resp. blood pressure devices at the beginning semester, again before an examination. Results: Multilevel analysis revealed lower calmness, more negative valence, higher task-related demands, perceived control,...
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is commonly characterized by pervasive instability. Affective instability, despite being a diagnostic criterion in the DSM-5, seen as transdiagnostic feature, but recent studies have brought new attention to importance of self-esteem instability potential defining feature BPD. However, evidence lacking regarding whether heightened specific BPD when patients with are compared clinical controls. Using ambulatory assessment, we examined and affective...
Patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) exhibit dysregulated emotion sequences in daily life compared to healthy controls (HC). Empirical evidence regarding the specificity of these findings is currently lacking.To replicate patients BPD and investigate sequences, we used e-diaries 43 female BPD, 28 posttraumatic stress (PTSD), 20 bulimia nervosa (BN), HC. To capture rapid dynamics emotions, prompted participants every 15 min over a 24-h period assess their current perceived...
