We aimed to examine the mediator role of difficulties in emotion regulation on the relationship between RF and BPD symptoms in a non-clinical adolescent sample. The sample was composed of 546 Turkish adolescents with a mean age of 16.18 ( SD = 1.67). Of the sample, 62.5% were adolescent girls and 37.5% of boys. In the present cross-sectional research, volunteer adolescents along with parental permission filled out Socio-Demographics Form, Reflective Functioning Questionnaire, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, and Borderline Personality Inventory on paper during counseling sessions at schools. Process macro was used to conduct mediation analyses. Compromised RF was related to an increase in adolescent borderline personality symptoms, both directly and indirectly via difficulties in emotion regulation. In this non-clinical adolescent sample, a lower degree of certainty, as well as a higher degree of uncertainty about the mental states, were related to a propensity to emotion dysregulation, specifically experiencing emotions less clearly, approaching emotions impulsively, and facing emotions without a modulation strategy. These associations were in turn related to an increase in borderline personality symptoms. The present research results suggest RF and emotion regulation problems as one field of early intervention for adolescents with BPD symptoms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00332941211061072","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,20]],"date-time":"2022-01-20T07:26:28Z","timestamp":1642663588000},"page":"1201-1220","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Mediated the Relationship Between Reflective Functioning and Borderline Personality Symptoms Among Non-Clinical Adolescents"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"126","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3034-0527","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yasemin","family":"Kahya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Department of Psychology, Social Sciences University of Ankara, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Koret","family":"Munguldar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Psychology, The Center for Attachment Research, The New School for Social Research, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,20]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"bibr1-00332941211061072","first-page":"22","volume":"29","author":"Aguirre B.","year":"2012","journal-title":"Psychiatric Times"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr2-00332941211061072","first-page":"6","volume":"8","author":"Aydemir \u00d6.","year":"2006","journal-title":"T\u00fcrkiye\u2019de Psikiyatri"},{"key":"bibr3-00332941211061072","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0145892"},{"key":"bibr4-00332941211061072","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/07351690.2013.835170"},{"key":"bibr5-00332941211061072","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/camh.12195"},{"key":"bibr6-00332941211061072","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.adolescence.2011.03.004"},{"issue":"3","key":"bibr7-00332941211061072","first-page":"168","volume":"20","author":"Biskin R.
