Anger bias in patients with BPD and healthy volunteers and its association with patients’ self-reported ACE. a. Types of errors (mean amount of errors ± one standard error) of patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and healthy volunteers (CON) across presentation time conditions. The displayed graph represents the significant main effect of error type, with significantly more misclassifications as angry than as happy or as neutral and significantly more misclassifications as fearful than as happy in both groups. Groups did not differ in their types of errors. ** p < .01. b. Association of patients’ self-reported ACE (CTQ sum score) and total amount of faces misclassified as angry in both presentation time conditions. The displayed graph represents the positive correlation between misclassifications as angry and ACE in patients with BPD (r = .43, p = .023, Bonferroni-Holm-corrected)
