Dissociation, Psychiatric Symptoms, and Personality Traits in a Non-Clinical Population

ABSTRACT This study investigated the relationship between dissociation and psychiatric symptoms as well as between dissociation and personality traits in a student population using the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES), the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). The results indicate a strong association between dissociation and psychiatric symptoms in general as well as an association between dissociation and neuroticism. Both associations are primarily mediated through more benign forms of dissociation. Additionally, phobic anxiety and paranoid ideation from the BSI were found to account for 52.5% of the variance in DES-scores. Two components of dissociation, psychological and somatoform, as well as the relevance of considering both cognitive and affective factors in the dissociative process are discussed.
