abstract="This study examined how individual differences in dissociation, absorption and a history of abuse are related to memory and suggestibility for the details of a personally experienced, known event. One hundred and thirty college students took part in a staged event and completed the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES), the Tellegen Absorption Scale (TAS), and questions about each participant's history of childhood abuse. One week after the staged event and initial testing, the students were questioned about the event. Dissociation and absorption were significantly related to errors on misleading questions but unrelated to errors on specific (non-misleading) questions. Reports of a history of child abuse were also related to dissociation and absorption but were generally unrelated to event memory or resistance to misleading information.
