Cooperative decision-making in borderline personality disorder: insights from a preregistered study using a comprehensive economic task battery.
Article in Borderline personality disorder and emotion dysregulation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSocial decision-making poses challenges for individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), which can lead to maladaptive interpersonal functioning. Although previous research on cooperative decisions in BPD has produced mixed findings, studies examining different aspects of cooperative behavior suggest that individuals with BPD may specifically show reduced reactive cooperation, while their active cooperation appears similar to that of healthy individuals.
methodsTo address these mixed results, we used a comprehensive battery of economic tasks in this preregistered study to assess different aspects of cooperation in 35 women with BPD and 50 healthy women.
resultsConsistent with our expectations, there were no significant differences between groups in active cooperation within the Dictator Game. However, contrary to our hypotheses, neither BPD status nor dissociality scores were related to reactive cooperation in the Ultimatum Game. To synthesize findings across studies, a mini meta-analysis was conducted, revealing no significant overall effect of group membership on rejection rates in the Ultimatum Game. Additionally, women with BPD showed similar social preferences, fairness perceptions and inequality aversion as the control group.
conclusionThese results suggest that in the context of anonymous, one-shot economic games, individuals with BPD may not differ from healthy individuals in terms of cooperative behavior. This highlights the importance of using baseline variants of standard economic tasks when considering contextual factors that affect social behavior in BPD.
