Abstract(s)
Os sujeitos com traços borderline de personalidade apresentam um padrão de funcionamento instável com interferência nas relações interpessoais. De acordo com alguns autores, esta instabilidade parece dever-se à existência de uma hipervigilância para estímulos negativos (viés atencional para a ameaça). Este viés atencional parece estar na origem e/ou manutenção da desregulação emocional, característica típica destes traços de personalidade. Apesar deste relativo consenso acerca do viés atencional, os autores dividem-se entre a hipótese da hipervigilância para estímulos negativos ou hiper-reatividade face a qualquer tipo de estímulo (negativos ou neutros). Assim, tivemos como objetivo principal observar a associação entre os traços de personalidade borderline e a atenção face a palavras emocionais neutras, negativas e negativas idiossincráticas (associadas à perturbação borderline). Para o efeito, testámos 35 estudantes universitários portugueses, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 40 anos de idade com um paradigma de Stroop emocional. Os nossos principais resultados sugerem que traços borderline mais marcados se associam a uma maior interferência de palavras negativas idiossincráticas na tarefa de identificação de cores. Estes resultados apoiam a hipótese de hipervigilância específica para estímulos idiossincráticos à sintomatologia borderline, suportando assim a noção de que estes indivíduos possuem um viés atencional no processamento das emoções.
Subjects with borderline personality traits show an unstable functioning pattern with interference in interpersonal relationships. According to some authors, this instability seems to be due to the existence of hypervigilance for negative stimuli (attentional bias towards the threat). This attentional bias seems to be the origin and / or maintenance of emotional dysregulation, a typical characteristic of these personality traits. Despite this relative consensus on attentional bias, the authors are divided between the hypothesis of hypervigilance for negative stimuli or hyper-availability against any type of stimulus (negative or neutral). Thus, we aimed to observe the association between borderline personality traits and attention to idiosyncratic neutral, negative and negative emotional words (associated with borderline disturbance). To that end, we tested 35 Portuguese university students, aged between 18 and 40 years old with an emotional Stroop paradigm. Our main results suggest that more marked borderline traits are associated with a greater interference of idiosyncratic negative words in the color identification task. These results support the hypothesis of specific hypervigilance for idiosyncratic stimuli to borderline symptomatology, thus supporting the notion that these individuals have an attentional bias in the processing of emotions
