Two thirds of the fantasy-prone college students (16 of total N = 24) who scored in the upper 4% of the population on the Inventory of Childhood Memories and Imaginings (ICMI; S.C. Wilson & T. X. Wilson, 1981) and who were administered a diagnostic interview met the criteria for either a past or present Axis I diagnosis according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (3rd ed., rev.; American Psychiatric Association, 1987), compared with 31% of medium fantasy-prone students (8 of total N = 26) who scored within 1/2 a standard deviation of the mean on the ICMI. Fantasizers also reported a higher frequency of past diagnosis of major depression (50%) than nonfantasizers (12%) and more dissociative experiences and symptoms, as indexed by a structured interview. Contrary to certain estimates of the frequency of dissociative disorders in the general population, none of the participants in the study received an actual dissociative disorder diagnosis. For certain individuals, fantasy proneness can be associated with significant psychopathology.
在童年记忆与想象量表（ICMI；S.C. 威尔逊和T.X. 威尔逊，1981）得分处于人群前4%的易幻想大学生中（总样本N = 24人，其中16人），接受诊断访谈的学生中有三分之二根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》（第3版，修订版；美国精神病学协会，1987）符合过去或当前轴I诊断标准，相比之下，在ICMI得分处于均值上下半个标准差范围内的中度易幻想学生（总样本N = 26人，其中8人）中这一比例为31%。幻想者报告的过去重度抑郁诊断频率（50%）也高于非幻想者（12%），并且通过结构化访谈得出，幻想者有更多的分离体验和症状。与对一般人群中分离性障碍频率的某些估计相反，该研究中的参与者均未获得实际的分离性障碍诊断。对于某些个体而言，易幻想可能与显著的精神病理学有关。
