The purpose of this study was to compare Borderline Personality Trait and Bipolar Trait, focusing on Emotional Dysregulation, Impulsivity, and Self-Destructive Behaviors. The subjects were 125 university students (34 Borderline personality trait, 57 Bipolar trait, 34 Control group). The questionnaires used in this study were the Personality Assessment Inventory – Borderline Features Scale (PAI- BOR), Hypomania Checklist-32 (HCL-32), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale (UPPS-P), Binge Eating Behavior questionnaire, and Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test-Korean version (AUDIT-K). SPSS 23.0 was used for data analysis, which included reliability analysis, descriptive statistics analysis, correlation analysis, and one-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA). In addition, post-hoc analysis was used to examine specific differences between groups. The results of this study were as follows. First, the correlation between emotional dysregulation and drinking was not significant, but all other variables were positively correlated. Second, the DERS and UPPS-P scores were significantly higher in the borderline personality trait compared to the bipolar trait. Self-destructive behaviors score exhibited no significant differences. Implications and limitations of this study were discussed. In addition, suggestions for future research were presented.
