ABSTRACT

Background and Objectives

Depersonalization is common in anxiety disorders, but little is known about factors that influence co-occurring anxiety and depersonalization.

Design

We investigated trait moderators of the relationships between state and trait anxiety and depersonalization to better understand their co-occurrence and to identify potential points of intervention.

Methods

Adults recruited on Amazon Mechanical Turk (N = 303) completed two computer tasks designed to increase variability in state anxiety and depersonalization as well as several self-report questionnaires.

Results

As hypothesized, anxiety positively predicted depersonalization at both a state level and trait level. Moreover, as hypothesized, the trait anxiety-trait depersonalization relationship was strengthened by greater anxiety sensitivity; distress intolerance; and negative interpretation bias for anxiety sensations, and for depersonalization sensations. None of these hypothesized trait moderators significantly strengthened the state anxiety-state depersonalization relationship.

Conclusions

These findings suggest that, on a trait level, anxiety and depersonalization more frequently co-occur when people catastrophically misinterpret their symptoms or have lower emotional distress tolerance.

焦虑敏感性、痛苦不耐受和消极解释偏差强化了特质焦虑和人格解体之间的关系

摘要

背景和目标

人格解体在焦虑症中很常见，但人们对同时发生的焦虑和人格解体的影响因素知之甚少。

设计

我们研究了状态和特质焦虑与人格解体之间关系的特质调节因素，以更好地理解它们的共现并确定潜在的干预点。

方法

在 Amazon Mechanical Turk 上招募的成年人 ( N  = 303) 完成了两项旨在增加状态焦虑和人格解体变异性的计算机任务以及几份自我报告问卷。

结果

正如假设的那样，焦虑在状态水平和特质水平上都积极预测人格解体。此外，正如假设的那样，焦虑敏感性越高，特质焦虑与特质解体的关系就越强。不容忍遇险；以及对焦虑感和人格解体感的负面解释偏差。这些假设的特质调节因素都没有显着加强状态焦虑与状态人格解体的关系。

结论

这些发现表明，在特质水平上，当人们灾难性地误解自己的症状或情绪困扰耐受性较低时，焦虑和人格解体更容易同时发生。
