Facial emotion recognition paradigms have been used to investigate the bases of interpersonal impairments in BPD, yielding mixed results. We sought to clarify and extend past findings by using the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET), a measure of the capacity to discriminate the mental state of others from expressions in the eye region of the face.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S003329170900600X_sec_a002\">\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty individuals diagnosed with BPD were compared to 25 healthy controls (HCs) on RMET performance.

Effect sizes were in the large range for the Total Score and for Neutral RMET performance. The results could not be accounted for by demographics, co-occurring Axis I or II conditions, medication status, abuse history, or emotional state. However, depression severity partially mediated the relationship between RMET and BPD status.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S003329170900600X_sec_a004\" sec-type=\"conclusion\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mental state discrimination based on the eye region of the face is enhanced in BPD.
