n = 38; for all Compartmentalization/Integration correlations, n=34

Representational Maintenance = correlation of ratings of personality traits across a 3 hour period. Self Differentiation Total, Emotional Reactivity, “I” Position, Emotional Cutoff, and Fusion with others = Differentiation of Self Inventory. Number of Aspects, Compartmentalization, Proportion of Cards Positive = Self-Aspects Card Sort Task. BPD dimensional scores from clinician rated IPDE.

High score = high self-differentiation, low emotion reactivity, high “I” position, low emotional cutoff, low fusion with others, high overlap (less complexity), greater # of aspects, more compartmentalization (less integration), greater proportion of cards positive.
