Abstract
This study investigated how affective experience and self-beliefs influence episodic choice. Participants (N=95) with elevated borderline personality disorder (BPD) symptoms completed a valenced categorization speed task. Individuals self-endorsing higher levels of affective instability, a core BPD symptom, categorized negative stimuli more quickly, and neutral stimuli less accurately.
