Table 2.

Results from multilevel analyses in which Negative Affect (NA) is predicted by a random intercept, by Appraisals and NA at the previous time point at level 1, which are again modeled in function of a Healthy Controls (HC) dummy and a Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) dummy at level 2

Coeff. Coefficient, SE Standard error. All predictors were entered person-mean centered. Different models were estimated for the general emotional appraisals and BPD-specific evaluations. Differences between diagnostic dummies slopes are tested using general linear hypothesis testing
