Abstract
The current study examined associations between various romantic relationship (RR) constructs and borderline personality disorder (BPD) traits. Our findings suggest that anxious attachment and obsessive passion best predict BPD traits, thus functioning as salient underpinnings related to frantic efforts to avoid abandonment, which is a core characteristic of BPD.
