“…There was less consistency in outcomes on other forms of abuse. Five studies indicated physical abuse significantly correlated with RS (Bungert, Liebke, et al ., ; Erozkan, ; Feldman & Downey, ; Hernandez, Trout, & Liu, ; Kahya, ), and three studies indicated physical neglect correlated significantly (Bungert, Liebke, et al ., ; Goodman, Fertuck, Chesin, Lichenstein, & Stanley, ; Kahya, ). However, one study reported no significant relationship between physical abuse and RS in a non‐clinical population (Goodman et al ., ) and another reported no significant relationship between physical abuse or neglect in a mixed population (Masland, ).…”

“…Remembered childhood rejecting experiences appear to contribute to adult RS; however, effect magnitudes for different forms should be explored further. Currently, all seven studies measuring emotional abuse and neglect (EAN) in non‐clinical samples (Chesin et al ., ; Erozkan, ; Goodman et al ., ; Hernandez et al ., ; Kahya, ; Masland, ; Pierce, Abbey, & Wegner, ) and all four studies measuring childhood rejection (Ibrahim et al ., ; Pachankis et al ., ; Rosenbach & Renneberg, ; Schaan & Vögele, ) indicated a significant correlation with adult RS, with moderate to high quality. Furthermore, correlations between RS and EAN were consistently higher than other forms of abuse, although this was not always true for BPD samples.…”

“…Furthermore, correlations between RS and EAN were consistently higher than other forms of abuse, although this was not always true for BPD samples. Five studies indicated a link with physical abuse and/or neglect (Erozkan, ; Feldman & Downey, ; Goodman et al ., ; Hernandez et al ., ; Kahya, ); however, outcomes were mixed and the majority of studies were rated moderate to low quality. Furthermore, studies predominantly recruited from student populations, who may be considered relatively high functioning, potentially limiting generalizability.…”

Objective. People with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) may experience heightened rejection sensitivity (RS), a disposition developing from repeated childhood rejecting experiences. It is not known whether the full RS model accounts for the cognitive-affective experiences common in BPD. This systematic review extends upon previous reviews, firstly by assessing the link between childhood rejecting experiences and adult RS, and secondly by considering the link between BPD and RS in both nonclinical and clinical samples.Method. Two research questions were devised, and searches based on predetermined criteria were conducted using PsycNET, PubMed, SCOPUS, and Web of Science. Data were extracted by one researcher and 20% was inter-rated, with high levels of agreement. Forty-three papers were systematically reviewed, and 31 included in meta-analysis and meta-regression.Results. Studies assessing the link between childhood rejection and RS are limited; however, emotional abuse and neglect appears linked with RS. Pooled effect sizes suggest RS is linked with BPD (r = .326), with strong effect sizes when comparing clinical and control samples (r = .655). Qualitative synthesis suggests this may be mediated by executive control, although further research is required. The small number of studies considering the full RS model with regard to BPD suggests the interaction between emotional abuse and neglect affects rejection sensitivity; however, outcomes are inconsistent.Conclusions. Childhood rejection, particularly emotional abuse and neglect, appears to be linked to rejection sensitivity, and rejection sensitivity is linked to BPD. However, this may not be linear. Implications for clinical practice and research are discussed. Practitioner pointsRejection sensitivity is consistently linked with BPD, in clinical and non-clinical samples. Supporting mentalization or improved theory of mind may offer a therapeutic target for this disposition.Considering the causes and effects of rejection sensitivity may offer a non-blaming explanation of interpersonal difficulties in BPD and could be utilized as part of formulation and the therapeutic relationship.

“…For example, it was reported that children with the secure attachment style display emotionally and sociall competent behaviors, show higher self-controll skills, and respond with less anxiety and fear when faced problematic situations (Fraley & Spieker, 2003). It is stated that the styles of attachment occurring as a resut of relationships established with the caregiver in the early periods of life lead to results which will continue lifelong in relation to interpersonal relationships and social functions in the adulthood (Erözkan, 2015;Zayas, Mischel, Shoda, & Aber, 2011). In this direction, it was found that those people with the secure attachment style develop more satisfying and longer relationships than those who have insecure attachment styles.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine relationships between attachment styles and relational self-construal. The study was carried out with 376 students (223 male, 153 female) enrolled in different faculties of Bayburt University. The data was collected using the Relationship Scales Questionnaire and Relational-Interdependent Self-Construal Scale. In the study, the relationships between the attachment styles and the relational self-construal were analyzed via the Pearson correlation analysis. In order to analyze the predictive role of the attachment styles on the relational self-construal, the multiple regression analysis was used. Pearson correlation analysis indicated that the relational self-construal was positively related with the secure and preoccupied attachment styles, but negatively related with the dismissive and fearful attachment styles. According to the multiple regression analysis results, the dismissive, preoccupied and secure attachment styles accounted for 17% of the variance in the relational self-construal. Furthermore, the relational self-construal was predicted positively by the secure and the preoccupied attachment styles, but negatively by the dismissive attachment style.
