dc.description.abstract
Background: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is commonly proposed to be
characterized by an enhanced sensitivity for emotional stimuli. In the present
study, we investigated whether BPD patients show a superior detection of
emotional facial expressions relative to healthy controls. The detection of
emotional information in the environment represents an important facet of
emotional sensitivity. Sampling and Methods: Twenty patients with BPD were
compared with 25 healthy controls. The participants were presented a rapid,
continuous stream of neutral and randomly inserted emotional facial
expressions and were asked to report the presentation of an emotional facial
stimulus after each trial. Availability of cognitive resources was manipulated
via two different task demands. Results: The participants with BPD performed
significantly better in the detection of positive and negative facial
expressions compared to the healthy controls. False alarm rates did not differ
significantly between the two groups. Conclusions: The BPD participants showed
an enhanced detection of emotional expressions that might be related to the
emotional disturbances they experience. In particular, we will discuss the
role of this superior emotion detection (in combination with previously
reported deficits in the labeling of emotional states) for the understanding
of emotional instability in BPD.
