DescriptionThe present study aimed to advance our understanding of the phenomenology of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) by identifying any specific or unique patterns in affective forecasting and recollection of biases that are related to BPD symptoms. In order to assess the accuracy of participants’ affective forecasts and recollections, we compared a sample of non-clinical undergraduates’ (n=183) predicted and recalled affective states with their actual affect following two emotionally evocative film clips (one amusing and one sad). We predicted that higher levels of BPD symptoms would be associated with greater affective forecasting and recall biases. Results indicated that BPD symptoms predicted a specific pattern of forecasting and recall biases regarding negative, but not positive, stimuli. However, counter to our hypotheses, as BPD symptoms increased affective forecasts and recollections were more accurate (less biased). Results from this study indicate that BPD symptoms are related to a specific pattern of affective biases and warrant further study. Furthermore, this study indicates that symptom-specific patterns of forecasting/recall bias can be studied with a laboratory-based paradigm.
