The relationship between negative attitudes and psychopathology is not yet clear. The current shift to a dimensional approach to mental disorders, as reflected in both the DSM-5 and ICD-11 models of personality disorders, seems to enrich the traditional approach to study attitudes. This study investigates whether and how impairments in personality functioning are linked to attitudes toward minorities. A comparison of levels of impairment in global and Self and interpersonal personality functioning, negative attitudes, social distance, and racism was conducted in the sample of 127 adults from the general population group (n = 69) and a group of people with diagnosed personality disorders (n = 58). Differences between both groups were found. The personality disorders group showed higher impairment in personality functioning, scored higher on negative attitude measures, and was more prone to the blatant expression of attitudes than the general population. The association between attitudes and personality functioning did not fully reflect these trends. However, given the nature of differences, it is suspected that the proclivity to the blatant expression of negative attitudes could go beyond negative attitudes toward minorities themselves and reflect disorder-related characteristics, that is, more problematic and conflicted relationships with others in general.

人格功能与对少数民族的态度有关吗？

消极态度与精神病理学之间的关系尚不清楚。正如人格障碍的 DSM-5 和 ICD-11 模型所反映的那样，当前对精神障碍的维度方法的转变似乎丰富了研究态度的传统方法。本研究调查了人格功能障碍是否以及如何与对少数群体的态度相关联。对来自普通人群（ n  = 69）的 127 名成年人和一组被诊断患有人格障碍的人进行了全面和自我及人际人格功能、消极态度、社会距离和种族主义的损害程度的比较( ñ = 58). 发现两组之间存在差异。与一般人群相比，人格障碍组在人格功能方面表现出更高的损害，在消极态度测量中得分更高，并且更倾向于公然表达态度。态度与人格功能之间的关联并未完全反映这些趋势。然而，鉴于差异的性质，人们怀疑公然表达消极态度的倾向可能超出对少数群体本身的消极态度，并反映出与障碍相关的特征，即与其他人的一般问题和冲突关系。
