ABSTRACT
The purpose of present research was to investigate association of borderline personality features with depressive symptomatology in adolescents. After detailed literature review following hypothesis was formulated: [1] Borderline Personality Features would be positively associated with depressive symptomatology in adolescents. The sample of the present research consisted of 100 students [50 females and 50 males] recruited from different departments of University of Karachi. Their ages ranged from 18-20 years and their qualification was at least intermediate. Borderline Personality Features Scale of Personality Assessment Inventory [PAI; Morey, 1991] and Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale-2 [RADS-2; Reynold, 2002] were administered in order to measure borderline personality features and depressive symptomatology, respectively. Pearson Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation was computed to assess relationships among the variables i.e. borderline personality features and depressive symptomatology. The results were consistent with the hypothesis as borderline personality features significantly correlated with depressive symptomatology [r=.446, p<. 05]
