Relations Between Anxiety Sensitivity and Attachment in Outpatients With Borderline Personality Disorder
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by dysregulated emotion, interpersonal relationships, and impulsivity, and is putatively linked to a known transdiagnostic risk factor, anxiety sensitivity (AS). AS is a dispositional fear of the physical, cognitive, and/or social consequences of arousal-related somatic sensations. Gratz et al. (2008) demonstrated significantly higher AS in outpatients with BPD and a predictive value of AS over and above emotion dysregulation and impulsivity. The present study sought to extend these findings with a larger sample of outpatients with BPD by investigating predictive value of AS dimensions; relations between AS and attachment style; and impact of BPD treatment on AS. Participants completed measures at three time points: pretreatment and 6 and 12 months posttreatment. AS social was the best predictor; attachment anxiety correlated positively with AS global and AS physical. AS levels significantly decreased from pretreatment to 6 months posttreatment. Clinical implications discussed include targeting AS in BPD treatment.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
