Temperament, hechting en persoonlijkheidsproblematiek bij jongvolwassenen in de ambulant ggz

Jaargang 2013 - Nummer 3 - dinsdag 4 november 2025

Samenvatting

In deze studie is de relatie onderzocht tussen temperamentskenmerken, hechtingsstijlen en persoonlijkheidsproblematiek bij 17 tot en met 23- jarige jongvolwassenen (N = 102), die in behandeling waren bij een ambulante geestelijke gezondheidszorg instelling. Meer specifiek is de samenhang van negatieve affectiviteit/neuroticisme en doelgerichte controle met cluster C persoonlijkheidsproblematiek nagegaan. Negatieve affectiviteit wordt gezien als een reactieve temperamentfactor en doelgerichte controle als een regulatieve temperamentfactor. Verder is ook de samenhang van hechtingsstijl met persoonlijkheidsproblematiek en negatieve affectiviteit onderzocht. De jongvolwassenen beoordeelden zichzelf op de Adult Temperament Questionnaire (Rothbart, 2000), de Relationship Questionnaire (Bartholomew & Horowitz, 1991) en de Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire Revised (Hyler & Rieder, 1982). De onderzoeksresultaten gaven aan dat negatieve affectiviteit positief en doelgerichte controle negatief geassocieerd bleken met de ernst van persoonlijkheidsproblematiek. Zowel negatieve affectiviteit als doelgerichte controle verklaarden een unieke en significante proportie van de variantie in cluster B en in de ernst van persoonlijkheidsproblematiek. De interactie tussen negatieve affectiviteit en doelbewuste controle leverde geen significante bijdrage aan de verklaarde variantie in persoonlijkheidsproblematiek. Variantie in Cluster C problematiek werd alleen significant voorspeld door negatieve affectiviteit. Hechtingsstijl verschafte geen significante unieke bijdrage aan de proportie verklaarde variantie in persoonlijkheidsproblematiek. De interactie tussen negatieve affectiviteit en hechtingsstijl leverde een significante bijdrage aan de ernst van persoonlijkheidsproblematiek en op clusterniveau voor het A en B cluster, maar niet voor cluster C.

Summary

The relationship between temperament, attachment styles and personality disorders in young adults

The present study investigated the relationship between temperament, attachment styles and personality disorders in young adults (N=102) aged 17-23 years, who were treated in an outpatient mental health institution.
The study explicitly focused on the possible role of negative emotionality and effortful control in the development of cluster C personality disorders. Negative affectivity/neuroticism is considered to be a reactive temperament factor and effortful control a regulative temperament factor. Subjects completed the Adult Temperament Questionnaire (Rothbart, 2000), the Relationship Questionnaire (Bartholomew & Horowitz, 1991) and the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire Revised (Hyler & Rieder, 1982). Results show that negative affectivity is positively and effortful control is negatively associated with personality disorders. Both factors explain unique and significant proportions of the variance in cluster B and the severity of personality disorders. The interaction between negative affectivity and effortful control does not contribute significantly to the variance in personality disorders. In addition, secure attachment also was not found to be predictive of variance in personality disorders. The interaction between negative affectivity and attachment, however, appeared to be a significant predictor of symptoms of personality disorders, at cluster level A and B, but not at cluster C.
