Abstract

Background: Adolescents with low self-efficacy may exhibit borderline personality features. This study aimed to investigate the role of school adjustment and social support in the association between self-efficacy and borderline personality features among adolescents.

Methods: Questionnaires were distributed to 2369 adolescents to collect data including general demographic characteristics, borderline personality features, social support, school adjustment, and self-efficacy.

Results: (1) Adolescents' school adjustment and self-efficacy were negatively associated with borderline personality features. (2) The relationship between borderline personality features and self-efficacy was partially mediated by school adjustment. (3) The relationships among borderline personality features, school adjustment, and self-efficacy were moderated by social support. High levels of social support were associated with a stronger negative correlation between borderline personality features and self-efficacy.

Conclusions: School adjustment is a crucial link between borderline personality features and self-efficacy. Although social support can mitigate this relationship to some extent, adolescents with borderline personality features may still face challenges in developing a strong sense of self-efficacy, even in supportive environments.

边缘型人格特征与自我效能感的关系：学校适应的中介作用和社会支持的调节作用。

背景：低自我效能感的青少年可能表现为边缘型人格特征。本研究旨在探讨学校适应和社会支持在青少年自我效能感与边缘型人格特征之间的关系中的作用。方法：对2369名青少年进行问卷调查，收集一般人口学特征、边缘型人格特征、社会支持、学校适应、自我效能感等数据。结果：(1)青少年的学校适应和自我效能感与边缘型人格特征呈负相关。(2)学校适应在边缘型人格特征与自我效能感之间起部分中介作用。(3)社会支持对边缘性人格特征、学校适应和自我效能感之间的关系有调节作用。高水平的社会支持与边缘人格特征和自我效能之间的负相关关系更强。结论：学校适应是边缘型人格特征与自我效能之间的重要纽带。虽然社会支持可以在一定程度上缓解这种关系，但具有边缘性人格特征的青少年在发展强烈的自我效能感方面可能仍然面临挑战，即使在支持的环境中也是如此。

期刊介绍： Borderline Personality Disorder and Emotion Dysregulation provides a platform for researchers and clinicians interested in borderline personality disorder (BPD) as a currently highly challenging psychiatric disorder. Emotion dysregulation is at the core of BPD but also stands on its own as a major pathological component of the underlying neurobiology of various other psychiatric disorders. The journal focuses on the psychological, social and neurobiological aspects of emotion dysregulation as well as epidemiology, phenomenology, pathophysiology, treatment, neurobiology, genetics, and animal models of BPD.
