Background and objectives: Among the main dysfunctions of borderline personality disorder, a topic of interest is the study of attentional mechanisms that evaluates which stimuli attracts patients’ attention and how patients process incoming stimuli. Different attentional biases could be manifested in borderline personality disorder: hypervigilance of emotional cues, difficulties in disengaging attention or avoidance. Additionally, social contents could be particularly problematic for patients given their alterations in the interpersonal domain. The current study aimed to investigate alterations in attentional mechanisms in response to interpersonal stimuli (positive, negative, and erotic) in this clinical population.
