Investigation of the Relationship Between Borderline Personality Features and Metacognition and State-Trait Anxiety
Öz
The current study examined the relationship between borderline personality features, metacognition, state, and trait anxiety. The volunteers (N=442) were administered the Metacognition Questionnaire (MCQ-30), Borderline Personality Questionnaire (BPQ), Socio-demographic Data Form, and finally State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The SPSS 25.0 program was preferred in the analysis of the research data. TAI (r=.645, p0.01) and the SAI (r=.551, p0.01) showed a substantial and positive connection with the BPQ. The Metacognition Questionnaire and the Borderline Personality Questionnaire were determined to have a significant correlation (r=.326, p<0.01). TAI (r=.472, p<0.01) and SAI (r=.356, p<0.01) both showed a substantial and positive connection with the Metacognition Questionnaire. It has been suggested that borderline personality features may cause anxiety in the person, the person may use dysfunctional metacognitions to cope with the current anxiety, and the maladaptive metacognitions used may be effective in the continuation of anxiety and borderline personality features. In light of these results, it is thought that it would be useful to add therapeutic interventions on behalf of their dysfunctional metacognitions and complementary training and techniques to the therapy processes to help people with borderline personality features gain awareness and to regulate their frequently experienced negative emotions such as anxiety.
