“…The degree of borderline traits is indexed by summing up the scores on all items. A score of seven or above indicates the presence of a borderline personality disorder (Patel, Sharp, & Fonagy, 2011;Zanarini et al, 2003). There is support for the reliability and the factorial, convergent, and criterion validity of the scale in non-clinical community and student samples (Patel et al, 2011;Verschuere & Tibboel, 2011).…”

Unwanted Pursuit Behavior After Breakup: Occurrence, Risk Factors, and Gender Differences

This study investigated unwanted pursuit behavior (UPB) perpetration in 631 adult expartners. UPB involves the unwanted pursuit of intimacy, a widespread and usually less severe form of stalking. The occurrence and various risk factors of UPB perpetration were examined, accounting for differences between male and female ex-partners and same-and opposite-gender ex-partners. Ex-partners showed on average five to six UPBs after their separation. Male and female and same-and opposite-gender ex-partners displayed an equal number of UPBs. The number of perpetrated UPBs was explained by breakup characteristics (ex-partner initiation of the breakup and rumination or cognitive preoccupation with the expartner), relationship characteristics (anxious attachment in the former relationship), and individual perpetrator characteristics (borderline traits and past delinquent behaviors).Rumination was a stronger predictor in female than male ex-partners. Borderline traits and anxious attachment positively predicted UPB perpetration in opposite-gender but not in samegender ex-partners. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Compulsive buying is a relatively new psychopathological concept and very few data are currently available regarding the prevalence and validity of compulsive buying disorder. In this cross-sectional study, we establish the prevalence of compulsive buying disorder in shopping mall visitors and explore the construct validity of the concept using the revised version of the Edwards Compulsive Buying Scale in 1,441 shopping mall visitors looking at shopping habits, current substance use (smoking, alcohol and illicit drug) and various psychological characteristics. Overall,3) of our sample was classified as having a compulsive buying disorder. Compulsive buyers were younger, less educated and more likely to be female than non-compulsive buyers. They were also more likely to have used licit and illicit substances. Compulsive buyers also reported higher levels of impulsivity and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, lower levels of well-being and self-esteem and more psychological distress. Finally, compulsive buyers were five times more likely to meet criteria for borderline personality disorder than non-compulsive buyers. Compulsive buying is a frequent disorder in shopping mall visitors and is associated with important and robust indicators of psychopathology thus supporting the validity of the construct. Dear Professor Buchsbaum, E ö t v ö s L or á n d U n i ve r s i t y * I ns t i t ut e of P sy c h ol o g y D E P A R T M E N T O F C L I N I C A L P S Y C H O L O G Y Aniko MarazWe would like the attached manuscript titled 'Prevalence and construct validity of compulsive buying disorder in shopping mall visitors' to be considered for publication in Psychiatry Research. Although there is considerable research regarding in the field of compulsive buying behavior, the prevalence of the validity of the disorder are relatively unknown. In this cross-sectional study, 8.7% of our sample (n=1441) had compulsive buying disorder and we found that compulsive buying is associated with important and robust indicators of psychopathology thus supporting the validity of the construct.The authors (Aniko Maraz, Wim van den Brink, Zsolt Demetrovics) declare that they do not have any interests that could constitute a real, potential or apparent conflict of interest with respect to his/her involvement in the publication. The authors also declare that they do not have any financial or other relations (e.g. directorship, consultancy or speaker fee) with companies, trade associations, unions or groups (including civic associations and public interest groups) that may gain or lose financially from the results or conclusions in the study.The study was exclusively carried out by the investigators.
