The relationship between shame, past traumatic events, and dissociation in a nonclinical university and community sample of pre-professional/professional dancers (n = 140) and recreational/competitive athletes (n = 99) was investigated in this cross-sectional study, which was approved by an institutional review board. Participants completed 3 self-report measures (i.e., the Dissociative Experiences Scale, Internalized Shame Scale, Traumatic Events Questionnaire), and the analyses included correlation, multivariate analysis of variance, and a series of regression analyses. The investigation indicated that dancers had increased shame and dissociation in comparison to athletes, and males had more traumatic experiences and increased dissociation relative to females. In the regression analyses, being a dancer, traumatic experiences, and shame predicted dissociation. Clinical recommendations include integrating shame treatment with dissociative-disordered patients and noting that dancers may need more psychological skill training to manage shame and dissociation.
本横断面研究调查了 140 名非临床大学生和社区职业/专业舞者（舞者组）与 99 名娱乐/竞技运动员（运动员组）群体中羞耻感、过去创伤事件与分离之间的关系，该研究已获得机构审查委员会的批准。参与者完成了 3 项自我报告量表（即，分离体验量表、内化羞耻量表、创伤事件问卷），分析包括相关性、多元方差分析和一系列回归分析。研究表明，与运动员相比，舞者的羞耻感和分离感更强，男性的创伤经历更多，与女性相比，分离感也更强。在回归分析中，舞者身份、创伤经历和羞耻感预测了分离感。临床建议包括将羞耻感治疗与分离障碍患者相结合，并注意到舞者可能需要更多的心理技能训练来管理羞耻感和分离感。
