Abstract
Perceived friendship quality is an important aspect of physical and mental health (Nicholson, 2012; Pucker et al., 2019). Prior research on Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) has examined romantic partner relationships, social network quantity, and social network functioning. No research has examined perception of friendship quality in individuals with elevated BPD traits. Given overall interpersonal relationship dysfunction in BPD, it is important to understand all relationship domains to fully conceptualize this dysfunction. This study aimed to fill that gap in research by examining perception of friendship quality in a male and female college sample of 265 participants with differing levels of BPD traits; these traits were measured using the Wisconsin Personality Disorder Inventory-Borderline Features (WISPI-BOR; Klein et al., 1993). Participants filled out self-report measures administered online. The study used a factor conceptualization of perceived friendship quality, the McGill Friendship Questionnaire (Mendelson & Aboud, 1999). Each of the functions of friendship was examined individually (Stimulating Companionship, Help, Intimacy, Reliable Alliance, Self-Validation, Emotional Security, Affection, and Satisfaction) (Mendelson & Aboud, 1999). Given the lack of prior research, this study was exploratory; exploratory hypothesis were that those higher in BPD traits would be lower in perceived friendship quality. Results indicated that there was not an overall significant relationship between BPD and perceived friendship quality. However, individual functions of perceived friendship quality were significantly related to borderline scores: Intimacy, Reliable Alliance, and Stimulating Companionship. Results of this study provide further insight into interpersonal dysfunction for individuals with elevated BPD traits.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
