Specifically, theories of BPD suggest that negative affect can be both an antecedent and a consequence of interpersonal problems. Within this thesis, I conducted two studies to test whether this proposed association holds in the daily lives of individuals with BPD. For this purpose, I utilized Ambulatory Assessment, a method of collecting data in real-life and near real-time via handheld devices such as smartphones. I specifically assessed perceived rejection and disagreement events as manifestations of interpersonal problems. For study 1, I recruited 80 participants with BPD and a clinical control group of 51 participants with depression of dysthymia.
