Personality Disorder Traits and Control of Emotions and Regulation of Mood

Barbara Gawda

Abstract


This study attempts to show the relationship between control of negative emotions and regulation of mood, and personality disorders traits. Literature presents data on dysfunctional experiencing, control and regulating emotions in people with personality disorders. They are unable to recognize the appropriate valence of emotions, control them and experience in an adequate way. All personality disorders display these impairments, however, its manner and degree are differently manifested in the different types of personality disorders. The aim of the study was to describe the relationship between control of emotions, the strategies to increase mood and decrease mood, and personality disorders traits in a non-clinical sample. A sample of 294 participants from general population was investigated (men and women in a similar age and education level). The following techniques were used: the Personality Disorder Questionnaire – PDQ-4 by Steven E. Hyler to assess personality disorders traits, the Scale of Control of Emotions, and the Scale of Mood Regulation by Bogdan Wojciszke to assess the tendencies in the regulation of mood. Multiple regression analysis was computed and path analysis to show the relationship between personality disorders traits and patterns of regulation of emotions. Results show that personality disorders traits from Cluster B are associated with a tendency to lower control of depression while from Cluster C higher control of depression. The tendency to decrease mood is related to the personalities from the Cluster C while Cluster A disorders are associated with a lower tendency to increase mood. In general, people with personality disorders traits do not display a high tendency to increase mood.
