The study examined the relationships among self-pluralism and dissociative experiences. 100 students were assessed using the Self-pluralism Scale and the Dissociative Experiences Scale. Scores on self-pluralism were positively correlated with others: overall Dissociation (r = .50), Absorption (r = .54), Depersonalization (r = .43) and Amnesia (r = .28).
