Borderline and schizotypal traits in college students : relationship and personality profiles

Résumé

The relationships between borderline and schizotypal features are still debated. They frequently co-occur at trait and diagnostic levels. Studying personality profiles combining these traits might contribute to the identification of specific needs concerning treatment for distinct groups of young adults. Participants were 2341 college students who completed self-report questionnaires evaluating borderline traits, schizotypal traits and several psychopathological symptoms. A factor analysis was performed on borderline and schizotypal personality measures, leading to ten factors. Borderline factors were largely intercorrelated just as were schizotypal factors. Moreover, borderline factors were weakly to largely correlated to schizotypal factors. Five factors were very strongly correlated (r > .50). Dissociation was strongly related to Odd Beliefs/Unusual Perceptive Experiences and Anxious-Depressive factors. Social Anxiety was strongly related to Suspiciousness. Based on these ten factors, a cluster analysis was conducted and resulted in four clearly distinct groups: a Low Traits cluster, a Narcissistic cluster, a Social Anxiety cluster, and a High Traits cluster. This High Traits cluster was characterized by homogeneously high levels of all factors, and high levels of internalizing and externalizing behaviors, suggesting that most college students with significant borderline traits also have high levels of schizotypal traits. This comorbidity needs to be taken into account in both clinical studies and practice.
