Abstract

The current research aimed to investigate the relative contribution of Impulsive Behavior (IB) and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation (DER) in predicting symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) among university students. The sample of the study consisted of 426 students (169 males, 257 females); their ages were from 16.56 to 24.63 years (Mage=21.23 ± 1.24); they selected from King Khalid University. The descriptive approach was used. The following tools were used: BPD List-23 (adaptive by Teleb, 2020), S-UPPS-P scale (adaptive by: Teleb, 2020), and DERQ-16 items (translated by the first author in this research). The study reached the following results: both of IB and DER can predict symptoms of BPD among university students. In addition to, both explain 29.6% of the total variance in BPD.
