This preliminary study aims to examine the validity of a web-based measure of BPD. We analyzed data from five independent samples (N = 828 in total). The web-based BPD measure had a consistent relationship with relevant variables, including trauma exposure, mental well-being, depression, post-traumatic stress, dissociation and psychotic features across samples. It was also strongly correlated with another BPD measure.
