Resumen

Resumen El presente estudio explora la relación entre la disociación psicológica y somática y su asociación con la sugestionabilidad, alexitimia, personalidad y dificultades en la regulación emocional. Los resultados sobre la muestra de 355 participantes indican la relación entre ambos tipos de disociación, la sugestionabilidad, las dificultades en la regulación emocional y la presencia de características diferenciadores de personalidad en ambos tipos de síntomas disociativos, mostrándose mayor neuroticismo, búsqueda de sensaciones y apertura, así como menor amabilidad y responsabilidad en la disociación psicológica. En la disociación somática, la personalidad mostró únicamente relación con la faceta de ansiedad. La edad también se relaciona de forma diferencial dependiendo de los síntomas disociativos presentes. Estos resultados ponen de manifiesto la importancia de estudiar de forma conjunta ambos tipos de síntomas disociativos, psicológicos y somáticos.
