TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Relationship between inner dialog and ideas of reference and the mediating role of dissociation JO - Scandinavian journal of psychology A1 - Bellido-Zanin, Gloria A1 - Perona-Garcelán, Salvador A1 - Senín-Calderón, Cristina A1 - López-Jiménez, Ana María A1 - Rodríguez-Testal, Juan Francisco SP - 100 EP - 106 VL - 58 IS - 1 N2 - Recent lines of research have begun to concentrate on internal dialogue and its relationship to a diversity of psychopathological phenomena present in psychotic disorders. This study was intended as a preliminary exploration of the relationship of internal dialogue, dissociation and ideas of reference. To do this, a sample of 318 students filled in an internal dialogue scale (the VISQ, McCarthy-Jones & Fernyhough), one for dissociation (DES-II, Carlson & Putnam) and another for ideas of reference (REF, Lenzenweger, Bennett & Lilenfeld). The results confirm the hypothesis posed in the sense that internal dialogue was positively associated with dissociation and with ideas of reference. A partial mediation effect of dissociation was also found between inner speech and ideas of reference. Lines of future research this study opens and its possible integration in a model on ideas of reference are discussed.
