Major(s) of all individuals presenting this work Bio of all individuals presenting this work I am Zoey Cajote, a student at The Collegiate School at Florida State University. I intend to major in psychology, and have strong interests in developmental psychology, political science, and pre-law. I wish to pursue a career in children’s psychology so that I can foster positivity in the upcoming generations of my community. Through this, I hope to help children from all walks of life become the best versions of themselves. Poster Title Abstract In the field of psychology, personality disorders are marked as serious and disruptive illnesses. More specifically, when considering a patients' quality of life, cluster B personality disorders are among the most difficult to manage. A question arises when observing these disorders: What factors may have contributed to its development? In recent years, research shows that many risk-factors can often be associated with and traced back to childhood experiences and biological predispositions. Someone researching this topic may be able to find journals mentioning these discoveries but lacking patient insight on these matters. I intend to collect data through a survey asking individuals diagnosed with cluster B personality disorders if they experienced a significant negative event in their childhood, and what age it occurred at. Then, they will fill out a brief description of the event, how it impacted them, and if they think it contributed to their disorder. They will also be asked if they have a family history of PDs. As far as participant safety, no secure information will be asked, and a “trigger warning” for sensitive questions will appear before the questionnaire begins with a “continue” or “exit” option. If “exit” is selected, the quiz will return to the questionnaire begin screen, otherwise the participant will be sent to the question section. By exploring this concept, we can better understand the perspective of the people suffering from these disorders and potentially devise preventative measures and interventions to reduce risk factors for children who are more susceptible to these disorders.
