Borderline personality disorder is a common type of personality disorder, and its patients have difficulties in emotional regulation and self-perception. As a high-risk financial activity, future investment may cause investors to produce huge financial and emotional pressure, resulting in negative emotional impact.

The study selected 100 investors who experienced futures explosion within a year as the experimental group, and 100 investors who did not experience futures explosion as the control group. The Borderline Personality Disorder Questionnaire was used to assess the borderline personality disorder traits of the investors and again to classify them into high and low borderline personality disorder trait groups. SPSS software was used for data analysis, and an independent sample t-test was used to compare the difference of ESI scores between different groups.

The results of the study showed that the mean borderline personality disorder trait score of the experimental group was 28.5±5.7, while the mean ESI score of the control group was 24.2±4.9. Independent sample t test showed that the score of BPD trait in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (t = 5.73, P < 0.001). The percentage of investors with borderline personality disorder trait scores higher than the standard scores reached 75% in the experimental group.

The results show that the number of future bursts will significantly deepen the trait of borderline personality disorder and depression of investors.
