Extract

There have been relatively few studies concerning the occurrence of depersonalization phenomena in normal subjects. Roberts (1960) and Dixon (1963) studied college students and reported a high incidence of brief depersonalization experiences in their samples. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between depersonalization, the conditions under which it occurred and a measure of extraversion/ introversion in a group of normal subjects.
