The Mediating Role of Schema Domains and Emotion Regulation in the Relationship between Perceived Parenting Styles and Borderline Personality

Öz

The aim of the current study was to examine the mediating roles of early maladaptive schema domains and emotion regulation difficulties in the relationship between perceived parenting styles and borderline personality traits. According to analysis results, the increase in perceived conditional/achievement focused parenting (i.e., maternal, and paternal) predicted borderline personality traits through the mediation of disconnection and unrelenting standards schema domains and emotion regulation difficulties. Moreover, the increase in perceived maternal exploitative/abusive parenting predicted borderline personality traits through both directly and the mediation of disconnection schema domain. Additively, the increase in perceived paternal exploitative/abusive parenting predicted borderline personality traits also through emotion regulation difficulties as well as schema domains. It has been understood the increase in perceived maternal overprotective/anxious parenting had a predictive role on the borderline personality traits through unrelenting standards schema domain and emotion regulation difficulties. Furthermore, perceived paternal restricted/emotionally inhibited parenting predicted increases in borderline personality traits in two ways: directly and through the mediation of disconnection schema domain and emotion regulation difficulties. Finally, perceived paternal over permissive/boundless parenting predicted borderline personality traits through disconnection schema domain and emotion regulation difficulties. Although physical and sexual abuse has been especially emphasized in the etiology of borderline personality symptoms, this study highlighted the importance of basic emotional needs that might play a role in the development of borderline personality symptoms by addressing the early life experiences more comprehensively on the basis of different parenting styles.

Ebeveynlik Biçimleri ve Sınırda Kişilik Arasındaki İlişkide Şema Alanları ve Duygu Düzenlemenin Aracı Rolü

Öz

Bu çalışmada, algılanan ebeveynlik biçimleri ve sınırda kişilik örüntüsü arasındaki ilişkide erken dönem uyum bozucu şema alanları ve duygu düzenleme güçlüğünün aracı rolünün incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre, koşullu/başarı odaklı ebeveynlik biçimindeki (anne ve baba) artışın kopukluk ve yüksek standartlar şema alanları ve duygu düzenleme güçlüğü aracılığıyla kişilerin sınırda kişilik belirti düzeylerini yordadığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca anneye ilişkin algılanan sömürücü/istismar edici ebeveynlik biçimindeki artışın hem doğrudan hem de kopukluk şema alanı aracılığıyla sınırda kişilik belirti düzeylerini yordadığı; babaya ilişkin algılanan sömürücü/istismar edici ebeveynlik biçimi için ise buna ek olarak duygu düzenleme güçlüğünün de aracı rol oynadığı görülmüştür. Anneye ilişkin algılanan aşırı koruyucu/evhamlı ebeveynlik biçiminin yüksek standartlar şema alanı ve duygu düzenleme güçlüğü aracılığıyla sınırda kişilik belirti düzeyi üzerinde yordayıcı bir rolü bulunduğu anlaşılmıştır. Bunun yanında babaya ilişkin algılanan değişime kapalı/duyguları bastıran ebeveynlik biçiminin hem doğrudan hem de kopukluk şema alanı ve duygu düzenleme güçlüğü aracılığıyla sınırda kişilik belirti düzeyi üzerinde yordayıcı bir rolü bulunduğu anlaşılmıştır. Son olarak babaya ilişkin algılanan aşırı izin veren/sınırsız ebeveynlik biçimindeki artışın kopukluk şema alanı ve duygu düzenleme güçlüğü aracılığıyla sınırda kişilik belirti düzeylerini yordadığı görülmüştür. Sınırda kişilik belirtilerinin etiyolojisinde özellikle fiziksel ve cinsel istismarın üzerinde durulmasına rağmen bu çalışmada erken dönem yaşantılar çeşitli ebeveynlik tutumları aracılığıyla daha kapsamlı bir bakış açısıyla ele alınarak sınırda kişilik belirtilerinin gelişmesinde etkili olan temel duygusal ihtiyaçların önemi vurgulanmıştır.
