Research of dissociative absorption has raised two questions: (a) Is absorption a unique dissociative factor within a three-factor structure, or a part of one general dissociative factor? Even when three factors are found, the specificity of the absorption factor is questionable. (b) Is absorption implicated in psychopathology? Although commonly viewed as "non-clinical" dissociation, absorption was recently hypothesized to be specifically associated with obsessive-compulsive symptoms. To address these questions, we conducted exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses on 679 undergraduates. Analyses supported the three-factor model, and a "purified" absorption scale was extracted from the original inclusive absorption factor. The purified scale predicted several psychopathology scales. As hypothesized, absorption was a stronger predictor of obsessive-compulsive symptoms than of general psychopathology. In addition, absorption was the only dissociative scale that longitudinally predicted obsessive-compulsive symptoms. We conclude that absorption is a unique and clinically relevant dissociative tendency that is particularly meaningful to obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
(a) 吸收是三因素结构中的一个独特的分离因素，还是一个一般分离因素的一部分？即使发现了三个因素，吸收因素的特异性也值得怀疑。(b) 吸收与精神病理学有关吗？尽管吸收通常被视为“非临床”分离，但最近有人假设它与强迫症状有特定关联。为了解决这些问题，我们对679名本科生进行了探索性和验证性因素分析。分析支持了三因素模型，并从最初的包容性吸收因素中提取了一个“纯化的”吸收量表。纯化后的量表预测了几个精神病理量表。正如所假设的那样，吸收对强迫症状的预测比对一般精神病理学的预测更强。此外，吸收是唯一能纵向预测强迫症状的分离量表。我们得出结论，吸收是一种独特的、与临床相关的分离倾向，对强迫症状尤其有意义。
