Dissociative experiences in the general population

CA Ross, S Joshi and R Currie
Department of Psychiatry, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada.

The Dissociative Experiences Scale was administered to a random sample of 1,055 adults in the city of Winnipeg. Results showed that scale scores did not differ between men and women and were not influenced by income, employment status, education, place of birth, religious affiliation, or number of persons in the respondent's household. Dissociative experiences are common in the general population and decline with age. The findings suggest that dissociative disorders may also be common in the general population.
