Abstract: In an online support group (N=49) for borderline personality disorder (BPD), self-reported BPD self-harm (β = 0.43, p = .003) concurrently predicted maladaptive daydreaming (MD). Emotion dysregulation mediated (β = 0.23, p = .20) and predicted MD (β = 0.52, p = .029), supporting targeted interventions.
