Previous research has shown a relationship between schizotypal personality traits and dissociative tendencies. The Inference-Based Approach (IBA) can explain this relationship to some extent. Purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of inferential confusion in relation to dissociative experiences and schizotypal personality traits. A total of 341 students from Shahed University participated in this cross-sectional study. Sampling was conducted randomly by the cluster sampling method. Data were collected using the Inferential Confusion Questionnaire (ICQ-EV), Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire-Brief (SPQ-B), and Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES-II). Data were analyzed using SPSS-22 software based on statistical methods including Pearson correlation, Baron and Kenny hierarchical regression and the Sobel test. There were significant positive relationships between dissociative experiences, schizotypal personality traits, and inferential confusion (P < 0.01). Findings showed that inferential confusion mediates the relationship between dissociative experiences and schizotypal personality traits (β = 0.29; P < 0.001). According to the obtained results, the present study, considering role of inferential confusion, succeeded in explaining the relationship between dissociative experiences and schizotypal personality traits to some extent.
先前的研究表明分裂型人格特质与解离倾向之间存在关联。基于推理的方法（IBA）能在一定程度上解释这种关系。本研究的目的是探讨推理混乱在解离体验与分裂型人格特质关系中的中介作用。共有341名来自沙希德大学的学生参与了这项横断面研究。采用整群抽样法进行随机抽样。使用推理混乱问卷（ICQ-EV）、分裂型人格问卷简版（SPQ-B）和解离体验量表（DES-II）收集数据。基于包括皮尔逊相关性、巴伦和肯尼层次回归以及索贝尔检验在内的统计方法，使用SPSS-22软件对数据进行分析。解离体验、分裂型人格特质和推理混乱之间存在显著的正相关关系（P < 0.01）。研究结果表明，推理混乱在解离体验与分裂型人格特质的关系中起中介作用（β = 0.29；P < 0.001）。根据所得结果，本研究考虑到推理混乱的作用，在一定程度上成功解释了解离体验与分裂型人格特质之间的关系。
