Abstract: (39 Views)
Background: Borderline personality disorder is one of the most complex mental disorders, in which interpersonal cognitive distortions and maladaptive parenting styles play a role in its formation and exacerbation. Despite numerous studies in this field, the mediating role of affective style in the relationship between perceptions of fathers' parenting and interpersonal cognitive distortions in women with borderline personality disorder has not been investigated so far.
Aims: The aim of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of affective style in the relationship between perceptions of fathers' parenting and interpersonal cognitive distortions in women with borderline personality disorder.
Methods: The method of this research was descriptive-correlational using structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the study included all female students in Bojnourd in the academic year 2024-2025. Purposeful sampling was carried out with a screening stage, and 200 people were selected from the population as a statistical sample. Research data were collected using the Borderline Personality Inventory (Leichsenring, 1999), the Interpersonal Cognitive Distortions Scale (Hamamci & Büyük-öztürk, 2004), the Properties of Perceptions of Parents Scale (Robbins, 1994), and the Affective Style Questionnaire (Hofmann & Kashdan, 2010). Also, research data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling method and using SPSS-27 and AMOS-24 software.
Results: The results showed that the research model had a good fit. Also, the indirect effect of father involvement on interpersonal cognitive distortions is negative and significant with the mediation of concealing (β=-0.066), adjusting (β=-0.052), and tolerating (β=-0.033), and concealing has a greater mediating role. In addition, the indirect effect of father's support for autonomy on interpersonal cognitive distortions is also negative and significant only through the mediation of concealing (β=-0.050). Also, the component of father warmth has an indirect and significant effect on interpersonal cognitive distortions (β=-0.033) only through the mediation of adjusting.
Conclusion: Considering the findings of this study on the important role of affective styles, especially concealment (as a maladaptive emotional construct), in explaining the relationship between individuals' perceptions of fathers' parenting styles and interpersonal cognitive distortions, Emphasis is placed on addressing adolescents' emotional patterns in therapeutic interventions and the need to simultaneously pay attention to cognitive, emotional, and family environment dimensions in the treatment of borderline personality disorders.
