Item Open Access Dissociation : Vol. 2, No. 1, p. 032-038: Integrating research on dissociation and hypnotizability: are there two pathways to hynotizability?(Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Multiple Personality and Dissociation, 1989-03) Carlson, Eve B.; Putnam, Frank W., 1947-Attention to the relationship between hypnotizability and dissociation has been limited to date. A few studies have examined instances of dissociation in the context of hypnosis. Only recently have researchers begun to ask questions about the relationship between an individual's hypnotizability and his or her tendency to dissociate on a day-to-day basis. A review of the literature and recent research in this area invites reconsideration of J. Hilgard 's theory of two developmental pathways to hypnotizability. The parallel question is also raised of whether the different pathways result in the experience of qualitatively different hypnotic states.Item Open Access Dissociation : Vol. 6, No. 1, p. 016-027 : An update on the Dissociative Experience Scale(Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Multiple Personality and Dissociation, 1993-03) Carlson, Eve B.; Putnam, Frank W., 1947-The authors review a wide range of studies that relate to the norms, reliability, and validity of the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES). Appropriate clinical and research use of the scale are discussed together with factor analytic studies and fruitful statistical analysis methods. Current research with the DES is described and promising new research questions are highlighted. Suggestions are made for translating and using the DES in other cultures. A second version of the DES, which is easier to score, is included as an appendix.Item Open Access Dissociation : Vol. 9, No. 2, p. 125-129 : Reliability and validity of the adolescent dissociative experiences scale(Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Dissociation, 1996-06) Smith, Steven R.; Carlson, Eve B.The Adolescent Dissociative Experiences Scale (A-DES) is designed to measure dissociation in adolescents (ages 11-17). The A-DES measures dissociation in four areas: dissociative amnesia, absorption and imaginative involvement, depersonalization and derealization, and passive influence. The present study was designed to establish A-DES norms for general population adolescents and to study aspects of the reliability and validity of the A-DES. Test-retest reliability was studied by testing one group of subjects twice, with a two-week interval between test administrations. Internal consistency was assessed by measuring the split-half reliability of the A-DES. Cronbach's alphas were calculated for the A-DES global score and four subscales. Results of these three analyses provide evidence for the reliability of the ADES. The concurrent validity of the A-DES was studied by correlating scores on the A-DES with scores on the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) in a college sample. Results showed a high correlation between scores on these two measures. Overall, results indicate that the A-DES appears to have promise as a measure of dissociation in adolescents.
