“…While heightened rejection sensitivity is characteristic of BPD (e.g. Peters, Smart, & Baer, 2014b; Staebler, Helbing, Rosenbach, & Renneberg, 2010), individuals with personality disorders also have greater difficulty recalling the individual or specific memories necessary for value development (Dimaggio, Salvatore, Popolo, & Lysaker, 2012). This lack of well-established personal values may contribute to the lower levels of adaptive guilt in individuals with BPD, as guilt-proneness is associated with the identification of a range of values, whereas shame-proneness is more weakly related (Silfver, Helkama, Lönnqvist, & Verkasalo, 2008).…”
