Depersonalization Phenomena in a Sample Population of College Students

J. C. DIXON 1

1 Professor of Psychology and Director of Clinical Training, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida

This study was concerned with the incidence of depersonalization in a normal population and its relation to sex, anxiety and introversion-extraversion. A 43-item anonymous questionnaire, containing a variety of experiences including those commonly associated with depersonalization, was administered to 69 male and 58 female college students. Cluster analysis revealed a factor identified as depersonalization. Nearly half the students reported some depersonalization experiences. No sex differences were found. Anxiety was moderately related to depersonalization in women, less so in men. Introversion-extraversion was related to depersonalization only to the extent that extreme introversion scores were also related to anxiety. These findings were confirmed with another sample of 19 men and 22 women.
