Description
Ashley Lubben, Tess Gecha, Kiana Cano, and Carla Sharp study how struggling mothers respond to their children's bad moments. Mothers with borderline personality features often react to a child's tears or anger in non-supportive ways, which can harm the child. The team asked whether the mothers' own trouble steering their emotions explains that pattern.
Among 148 mothers, fifty-three with significant borderline features, worse emotion control went with fewer supportive responses and more non-supportive ones. The link between borderline features and non-supportive responses also changed with the mother's regulation level: dysregulation moderated it. The authors say the work sharpens the mechanism behind a known parenting risk. It points to emotion regulation itself as a place where help for these mothers could start.
