“…Among basic aspects of personality, impulsivity and aggressiveness have been hypothesized recently to represent core features of BPD (Dougherty, Bjork, Huckabee, Moeller, & Swann, 1999;Hansenne et al, 2002;Links et al, 1999). Although these personality features are influenced to some degree by biological and genetic factors (Moeller, Barratt, Dougherty, Schmitz, & Swann, 2001), the relevance of attachment characteristics is supported by findings that insecurely attached children (Main & Goldwin, 1984), and particularly infants classified as disorganized/disoriented in the Strange Situation (Lyons-Ruth, Repacholi, McLeod, & Silva, 1991), are significantly more likely to manifest highly aggressive behaviors than those with secure attachment.…”
