Criterion validity of the Social Cognition and Object Relations Scale with the Thematic Apperception Test
Toward a More Nuanced Perspective on Detachment
Avoidant personality disorder was introduced in DSM-III (American Psychiatric Association [APA], Citation1980), and debate persists regarding the utility of having two separate variants of the “detached personality.” The present study addressed this issue through ratings of open-ended self-descriptions provided by community adults with high scores on schizoid versus avoidant personality traits (N = 229). The self-concept of individuals with avoid…
The current state of affairs in infidelity research
In this systematic review and meta‐analysis, researchers' operationalizations of romantic infidelity and the techniques that they employed to measure it were surveyed along with the demographic characteristics of their respondent samples. A meta‐analytic synthesis of infidelity prevalence estimates and their moderators is provided. The APA PsycINFO, PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and ERIC databases were searched for peer‐reviewed, English‐language s…
The smartphone as a “significant other”
Smartphones are increasingly widespread throughout the world and, although smartphones provide various benefits, excessive and maladaptive use is often reported. Given the penetration of smartphones in the individual's daily life, it is relevant to identify the mechanisms sustaining their use, including the affective bond that the owner may develop with the device. The aim of the current study is to test a novel model to explain smartphone and So…
Italian Version of the Relationship Profile Test (RPT-I)
This study presents the adaptation to the Italian context of the Relationship Profile Test (RPT; Bornstein & Languirand), a self-report measure of Destructive Overdependence (DO), Dysfunctional Detachment (DD), and Healthy Dependency (HD). The RPT was administered to a community sample of 661 nonclinical Italian adults together with the Attachment Style Questionnaire, the Relational-Interdependent Self-Construal Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem S…
Context-Driven Variability in Personality and Interpersonal Behavior
How can assessors capture context-driven variability in personality and interpersonal behavior in ways that are both empirically sound and clinically useful? Scott et al. (2021 Scott, W. D., Penningroth, S. L., Paup, S., Li, X., Adams, D., & Mallory, B. (2021). The Relational Self-Schema Measure: Assessing psychological needs in multiple self-with-other representations.

Narcissism and Reactions to a Self-Esteem Insult
We used self-reported narcissistic grandiosity and vulnerability and a component derived from 11 potential grandiosity and narcissism variables (GNVs) coded from Rorschach behavior to predict fluctuations in self-esteem and their links to anger and defensive reactions. We assessed state mood, state self-esteem, and performance attributions in 105 college students who underwent a self-esteem manipulation involving success followed by failure on co…
From symptom to process
Construct validity of the Psychodiagnostic Chart
The Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM; Alliance of Psychoanalytic Organizations [APO], 2006) was developed to add a contrasting, person-centered perspective to the conceptualization and diagnosis of psychological dysfunction in traditional diagnostic systems (i.e., the International Classification of Diseases, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). In addition to considering symptom patterns (Axis S), the PDM—and its recen…
Self-compassion mediates the link between dependency and depressive symptomatology in college students
Depression is highly prevalent among college students and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Dependency is among the known personality traits that predict an elevated risk for depression. Prior research has focused on the depressogenic role of self-critical thoughts among destructive overdependent (DO) individuals but has not considered other internal processes (such as self-compassion) that might influence mental health. The…
The Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual Version 2 (PDM-2)
This article reviews the development of the second edition of the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual, the PDM-2. We begin by placing the PDM in historical context, describing the structure and goals of the first edition of the manual, and reviewing some initial responses to the PDM within the professional community. We then outline 5 guiding principles intended to maximize the clinical utility and heuristic value of PDM-2, and we delineate strategie…
Rorschach assessment of childhood sexual abuse severity, borderline pathology, and their interaction
Psychodynamic Models of Personality
Psychodynamic models of personality have taken many forms, including Freud's topographic and structural models, object relations theory and self-psychology, various neo-analytic frameworks, and an array of contemporary integrative perspectives. Despite their differences, these psychodynamic models share three core assumptions that distinguish them from other theories of personality: (1) primacy of the unconscious; (2) critical importance of early…

Nomothetic psychoanalysis
Psychoanalytic theory’s roots (in the clinic rather than the laboratory), and aims (depth understanding of the individual) have led to the development of a theoretical perspective that relies primarily on idiographic data and case mate-rial to derive and test psychoanalytic hypotheses. In this article, I describe nomothetic psychoanalysis–a framework for conceptualizing and evaluating psychoanalytic ideas that complements and enriches the traditi…
A Freudian construct lost and reclaimed
Although many early 20th-century descriptions of personality pathology were unabashedly psychoanalytic, recent editions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) have attempted to frame personality disorders (PDs) in atheoretical terms. This article discusses the continuing relevance of psychoanalytic theory for PD diagnosis, research, and treatment. After reviewing the evolution of the PD concept since Freud’s time, 3 ps…
Self-schema priming and desire for test performance feedback
The cognitive/interactionist (C/I) model of interpersonal dependency contends that two central elements of a dependent personality orientation are a schema of the self as powerless and ineffectual, and a resulting desire to obtain and maintain ties to potential caregivers and protectors. Two experiments tested this aspect of the C/I model. Experiment 1 found that dependency level and schema priming combined to predict the amount of time participa…
Research
This study investigated diverse measures of religiosity (i.e., religious orientation, coping, and problem solving) and healthy dependency as correlates and predictors of spiritual well-being. Results from an undergraduate sample (84 women and 52 men) indicated a pattern of inverse associations between religiosity and unhealthy dependency. Moreover, both religiosity (positive and negative coping for men, extrinsic motivation and a less self-direct…
Metatheoretical Shifts and Extraclinical Data
Reconnecting psychoanalysis to mainstream psychology. Challenges and opportunities
Although psychoanalysis was once central to mainstream psychology, in recent years psychodynamic models of personality and psychopathology have become increasingly marginalized. The factors that combined to “disconnect ” psycho-analysis from contemporary psychological science and clinical practice are examined, and strategies that can help reconnect psychoanalysis to mainstream psychology are described. These are (a) the use of nomothetic researc…
Contrasting Effects of Self‐Schema Priming on Lexical Decisions and Interpersonal Stroop Task Performance
Four experiments tested a key tenet of Bornstein's (1992, 1993) cognitive/interactionist (C/I) model of interpersonal dependency: that priming the helpless self-schema (HSS) alters processing of dependency-related information in dependent--but not nondependent--individuals. Experiments 1 and 2 assessed the effects of subliminal lexical priming and an emotional priming manipulation on lexical decision (LD) judgments for dependency-related words an…

Exposure and affect
L'auteur analyse les effets de variables methodologiques (type et complexite du stimulus, intervalle de presentation, temps d'exposition) et de variables subjectives (âge d'exposition, personnalite) sur la sensibilite du sujet aux stimulus de toutes sortes. Il conclut sur l'interet methodologique de sa recherche, ainsi que sur ses apports pratiques (publicite, traitement de la phobie)
Stimulus recognition and the mere exposure effect
The dependent personality
Developmental, social, and clinical studies of dependency have produced remarkably consistent results. A review and integration of these findings allow strong conclusions to be drawn regarding the etiology and dynamics of dependency. The etiology of dependency appears to lie in overprotective, authoritarian parenting. In social settings, dependency is associated with suggestibility, conformity, compliance, interpersonal yielding, affiliative beha…
The generalizability of subliminal mere exposure effects
This article describes three experiments investigating the extent to which subliminal mere exposure effects arc obtainable not only with simple stimuli but also with complex human stimuli in social situations. In the first experiment, undergraduate subjects were exposed to slides of abstract geometric figures at both subliminal (i.e., 4 ms) and supraliminal exposure durations. Subjects1 attitudes toward the subliminally presented stimuli became s…
Boredom as a limiting condition on the mere exposure effect
Three experiments investigating the role of boredom as a limiting condition on Zajonc's (1968) mere exposure effect are described. Results support the role of boredom as a limiting condition on the mere exposure effect and are consistent with a 2-factor learning-satiation model of the exposure effect
Gender Schemas, Gender Roles, and Expressive Writing
Implicit and self-attributed dependency strivings
D. C. McClelland, R. Koestner, and J. Weinberger (1989) argued that self-report tests assess self-attributed needs (i.e., motives that are openly acknowledged by the actor), whereas projective tests assess implicit needs (i.e., motives that affect behavior without conscious awareness on the actor's part). The present studies examined the effects of implicit and self-attributed dependency strivings on laboratory and field measures of help seeking.…

Defense Mechanism Correlates of Orality
Although there has been a great deal of research assessing behavioral correlates of oral dependency, the defensive style of the oral dependent person remains unexplored. This paper describes two studies investigating the orality--defense mechanism relationship. In the first study, 154 undergraduate subjects (74 males and 80 females) completed the Defense Mechanisms Inventory (DMI; Gleser and Ihilevich, 1969), and were administered the Group Rorsc…

The Attribution and Discounting of Perceptual Fluency
Bornstein and D'Agostino (1990, 1992) hypothesized that the mere exposure effect results from a combination of two processes. First, an increase in perceptual fluency is induced by repeated exposure to a stimulus. Second, subjects attribute perceptual fluency effects to liking for a stimulus based on contextual cues provided by the experimenter. This paper describes two experiments that test predictions derived from the perceptual fluency/attribu…
