Results

• To test the first hypothesis two independent t-test were performed.

  • Hyp. 1 = The BPD group will have greater comorbidity on personality disorder scales than the OPD group.

Table 1                                                                                 t-test Values for T Scores Greater than 60 and Greater than 70

Table 2                                                                             Mean Percentages of Personality Disorders in the BPD and OPD Groups

• Additionally, to look at severity of BPD and comorbidity, the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation was calculated between the BPD group and the number of other personality disorder scales (T < 60)

• To test Hypotheses 2A and 2B, One-Way ANOVAs were performed.

  • Hypothesis 2A = The BPD group will demonstrate greater neurological dysfunction than either the OPD or the Control group in Executive Dysfunctions.

  • Hypothesis 2B = The BPD group will demonstrate greater neurological dysfunction than either the OPD or the Control group in ADHD.
