The purpose of this study was to investigate that the social exclusion situation influence interpersonal emotion regulation induced by instrumental motivation in undergraduate students with borderline personality trait, and to confirm their characteristics. The borderline personality trait group(n=50) and the control group(n=50) were selected among 520 students based on scores on the PAI-BOR scale. Two groups played the game called Cyberball(Virtual Ball Tossing Game), a game in which a ball is passed between four people in the experiment. The game is designed so that participants cannot receive a ball, so as to arouse their sense of isolation. We asked them to evaluate their emotions by using the Emotional Experience Scale before and after the game and measured their emotional changes. Then, when people were teamed with two individuals each and given the opportunity to receive a monetary benefit in accordance with the number of times their partner received the ball, the participant evaluated interpersonal instrumental emotion regulation by selecting the intensity of each emotion(negative, neutral) and value of the emotion they wanted to induce to their partner. In comparison with the other groups, the borderline personality trait group in the exclusion situation experienced more of a sense of isolation, and selected significantly higher intensity of the negative emotion presented to their partner. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups (borderline personality trait, control) in the inclusion situation. In terms of value of the emotions, the borderline personality trait group in the exclusion situation evaluated significantly lower than control group. As a result, these findings suggest interpersonal instrumental emotion dysregulation of the borderline personality trait group in a social exclusion situation, which can lead to interpersonal dysfunctions by using inappropriate emotion.
