SERRANO, Ángeles; GONZALEZ-ORDI, Héctor  and  CORBI, Beatriz. Dissociation, personality, suggestibility, alexithymia, and problems with emotional regulation: A correlational study. Clínica y Salud [online]. 2016, vol.27, n.3, pp.147-155. ISSN 2174-0550.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.clysa.2016.09.005.

The present paper explores the relationship between psychological and somatic dissociation and different personality and emotional variables, including suggestibility, alexithymia, and emotional regulation and dysregulation. The results with a sample of 355 partipants of a normal population reveal that there is a positive relationship between both types of dissociation, suggestibility and emotional dysregulation. Likewise, there were different patterns of personality associated both to psychological and somatic dissociation. Correlations found in this study put forward the importance to take into account both types of dissociactive symptoms, psychological and somatic ones.

Keywords : Dissociation; Personality; Suggestibility; Alexithymia; Emotional regulation.
