ABSTRACT: HPD is de enige DSm PD die expliciet gelinkt is aan iemands fysieke uiterlijk.
Deze studie doet odnerzoek naar de HPD-aantrekkelijkheids link met een gemengde geslachts
sample van studenten. HPD vrouwen scoren hoger op aantrekkelijkheid dan vrouwen met
andere PD of geen PD. Een gelijke aantrekklijkheidsbevinding werd bij mannen niet
geconstateerd. Vrouwen met HPD hadden, in vergelijking met andere vrouwen, een meer
gevarieerd en steunend netwerk, uiten meer negatieve gedragingen in belangrijke relaties en
toonden meer kinderachtige verdedigingsmechanieken, minder vertrouwen op beeld-distortie,
zelfopoffering en volwassen verdediging. Dezelfde aantrekklijkheids
verdedigingsmechanieken werden gevonden in mannen.
HPD heeft een lange geschiedenis…
Moderne formulaties van HPD:
Kerncomponenten zijn egocentrisme, verleiding, theatrale emoties, ontkenning of boosheid en
vijandigheid en een diffuse cognitieve stijl. Andere kenmerken: manipulatie, lage-frustratie
tolerantie, hypersexualiteit, suggestiviteit en somatiserende neigingen. Deze kenmerken
worden mooi onschreven in de acht criteria van de DSM voor HPD. Voglens de DSM is de
centrale feature van HPD:
- discomfort in situaties waarin hij of zij niet in het middelpunt staat
- sexueel verleidend of provocatief gedrag
- vlakke expressie van emoties
- het gebruik van fysiek uiterlijk om aandacht te trekken
- overdreven impressionele stijl van praten
- zelf-dramatisatie, theatraliteit en overdreven emotionele expressie
- suggestiviteit
- perceptie van grotere intimiteit dan daadwerkelijk het geval is
(Bornstein, 1999)
How can the PD be distinguished from other PDs?
DPD en HPD worden beiden geassocieerd met hoge levels van impliciete
afhankelijkheidsbehoeften. Het verschil zit hem er in dat DPD bewuste
afhankelijkheidsbehoeften enkel bestaan bij DPD, en niet bij HPD. Deze hypothese wordt ook
bevestigd aan de hand van de studie.
HPD en DPD mensen vertonen zeer verschillend gedrag. Bij DPD:
