Article Abstract
Introduction: Research suggests that religiosity domains are associated with mental health constructs. Some studies have focused on the relationship between religiosity and personality disorders.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between religiosity domains and pathological traits of the borderline (BPD) and schizotypal (SZPD) personality disorders.
Methods: Participants were 751 adults from the general population who answered the Multidimensional Inventory for Religious/Spiritual Well-Being (MI-RSWB-E), the Attachment to God Inventory (AGI), and factors of the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory 2 (IDCP-2). Pearson's correlation and regression analysis were conducted with pathological traits as independent variables and religiosity domains as dependent variables.
Results: Correlation and regression analyses indicated slightly higher associations between religiosity domain and BPD traits in comparison to SZPD traits. BPD traits showed higher associations with the hope immanent, forgiveness and hope transcendent domains, while SZPD presented higher associations with connectedness. The SZPD-related paranormality factor presented the highest correlation observed in the study and was the best SZPD predictor of religiosity domains. The BPD-related hopelessness factor was the predictor with significant contribution to most regression models. BPD traits presented slightly higher average association with religiosity domains, whereas spiritual-related domains (e.g., connectedness) tended to show higher associations with SZPD traits.
Conclusions: Our findings help explain the relationship between specific pathological traits and religiosity domains.

Ideological religious nationalism (IRN) is a worldview that advocates the integration of religious beliefs with national policy and laws and the religious moralization of politics. However, the psychological mechanisms, individual differences, and socio-political consequences related to IRN are unclear. Across five studies ( = 1,349), we established construct validity for a novel scale assessing IRN that is adaptable across different contexts.

Spiritual and religious experiences in the context of borderline personality disorder are underexplored by both researchers and clinicians, are central in the lived experience of some patients, and are likely to interact in complex ways with core symptoms and challenges. Effective navigation of this domain by clinicians and patients may require increasing, decreasing, or stabilizing engagement with spiritual and religious beliefs, practices, or communities, depending on the person. No empirically derived guidelines exist for how clinicians can address this area to help patients maximize benefits while minimizing harms.
