In spite of the fact that acting makes great demands on the personality, there is lack of research dealing with the psychological status of actors. Resulted from their profession actors often experience dissociation, since absorption and changing of their identity is a routine task for them. They are acting on the stage, and they are acting in private.
36 theatrical actors completed the DISQ-H version of the Dissociation Questionnaire measuring four subscales: Identity Confusion, Amnesia, Loss of Control and Absorption. In order to understand their experiences deeper, nine actors were interviewed. The sample consisted of 21 men and 15 women and their ages ranged from 23 to 60. Higher ages implied longer career as an actor, thus the youngest subject had been working for 2 years, while the oldest one had been working for 39 years.
DISQ-H total score results of the actors were significantly higher compared to the Hungarian standard scores. As we expected, the two non-pathological subscales (Loss of Control and Absorption) showed significant differences compared to the standard scores of the subscales. In the case of Identity Confusion subscale we found no significant differences, however the results indicate that the tendency observed emphasizes the importance of further research of this phenomenon.
To sum up, dissociative experiences proved to be important elements of acting.
尽管表演对个人素质要求很高，但针对演员心理状况的研究却很匮乏。由于职业原因，演员经常经历解离，因为对他们来说，吸收和改变自身身份是日常工作。他们在舞台上表演，也在私下里“表演”。
36名戏剧演员完成了解离问卷的DISQ-H版本，该问卷测量四个子量表：身份混淆、失忆、失控和专注。为了更深入地了解他们的经历，对九名演员进行了访谈。样本包括21名男性和15名女性，年龄在23岁至60岁之间。年龄越大意味着演员生涯越长，因此最年轻的受试者工作了2年，而最年长的工作了39年。
与匈牙利标准分数相比，演员的DISQ-H总分结果显著更高。正如我们所料，两个非病理性子量表（失控和专注）与子量表的标准分数相比显示出显著差异。在身份混淆子量表方面，我们没有发现显著差异，然而结果表明所观察到的趋势强调了对这一现象进行进一步研究的重要性。
总之，解离体验被证明是表演的重要元素。
