Resumen

El principal objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar el grado de asociación entre los rasgos de la personalidad esquizotípica y de la personalidad borderline en una muestra de 759 estudiantes universitarios (M = 19,63 años; DT = 2,03). Para este propósito el Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire-Brief (SPQ-B; Raine and Benishay, 1995) y el Borderline Personality Questionnaire (BPQ; Poreh et al., 2006) fueron administrados. Los resultados mostraron que los rasgos esquizotípicos y borderline de la personalidad se encontraban parcialmente asociados a nivel subclínico. El análisis factorial exploratorio llevado a cabo a partir de las subescalas de ambos autoinformes reveló una solución factorial tridimensional concretada en los factores: Identidad/Interpersonal, Falta de control y Esquizotípico. El análisis de correlación canónica mostró que los rasgos esquizotípicos y borderline de la personalidad compartían el 34,8% de la varianza total. Los datos destacan la superposición entre la personalidad esquizotípica y la personalidad borderline en jóvenes adultos. Futuros estudios deberían continuar examinando la relación y el grado de superposición entre este conjunto de rasgos de la personalidad en muestras comunitarias.
