Abstract:

The relationship between dissociation and some of its potential correlates and antecedents was explored. Young medical students (N = 276) completed the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES), Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI), 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and Munich Personality Test (MPT). The findings indicate that both personality characteristics (such as alexithymia and neuroticism) and, to a modest degree, environmental factors in terms of the lack of parental care contribute to the dissociation variance.
