dc.description.abstractA correlation study was carried out to highlight the relationship of attachment styles with Borderline Personality traits, and the mediating role of self-discrepancy between them.331 (151 men) young adults (M=20.65yrs, SD=1.71) participated in the study and responded to three questionnaires. Short form of Experience in Close Relationship-Revised (short ECR-R; Wongpakaran &Wongpakaran, 2012)was used for assessing attachment styles, Selves Questionnaire (SQ; Higgins, Klein & Strauman, 1985) for self-discrepancy, and 20-item Taiwan Version of Borderline Personality Inventory(BPI-T20; Lee, Wen , Yeh, Lee & Chong, 2009) for borderline personality traits. Results revealed significant positive correlation among attachment anxiety, attachment avoidance, borderline personality traits, self actual-ideal discrepancy, self actual-ought discrepancy, others actual-ideal discrepancy and others actual-ought discrepancy, despite of correlation between attachment avoidance and borderline personality traits. Attachment anxiety and avoidance predicted borderline personality traits. Also, self-discrepancy with its subtypes mediated the relationship of attachment anxiety and avoidance with borderline personality traits. The findings will help in prevention and formation of strategies to handle these traits by advancing the understanding.en_US
