ABSTRACT
Studied the cognitive style of patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Focus was on testing the hypothesis that patients with BPD have a tendency to avoid ambiguity and abstractness. Human Ss: 30 male and female West German adults (inpatients) (BPD). 30 male and female West German adults (inpatients) (mixed neurotic disorders). Ss' responses to the Holtzman Inkblot Technique (HIT) by W. H. Holtzman et al (1961) were analyzed with S. Ertel's (1972) Dogmatismus-Textauswertung ("Dogmatism Text Analysis") and with U. Gunther and N. Groeben's (1978) Abstraktheitssuffixverfahren ("Abstractness Suffix Procedure"). Intergroup differences were determined; and correlations between cognitive style and the HIT variables, anxiety, and hostility were analyzed.
