Abstract: The relationship between attachment style and dissociation was examined in this study.A total of 36 undergraduate students were administered self-report questionnaires that revealed their attachment style, and then underwent two tasks (dot-staring and mirror-staring) to evoke acute dissociative symptoms.In a repeated-measures design, it was found that individuals with insecure attachment experienced a significant increase in dissociation following both of the tasks than did those who were securely attached.Additionally, this increase was significantly greater for those participants who reported higher everyday dissociation.
