Abstrakt: Background Objectives: Depersonalization is common in anxiety disorders, but little is known about factors that influence co-occurring anxiety and depersonalization.
Design: We investigated trait moderators of the relationships between state and trait anxiety and depersonalization to better understand their co-occurrence and to identify potential points of intervention.
Methods: Adults recruited on Amazon Mechanical Turk ( N  = 303) completed two computer tasks designed to increase variability in state anxiety and depersonalization as well as several self-report questionnaires.
Results: As hypothesized, anxiety positively predicted depersonalization at both a state level and trait level. Moreover, as hypothesized, the trait anxiety-trait depersonalization relationship was strengthened by greater anxiety sensitivity; distress intolerance; and negative interpretation bias for anxiety sensations, and for depersonalization sensations. None of these hypothesized trait moderators significantly strengthened the state anxiety-state depersonalization relationship.
Conclusions: These findings suggest that, on a trait level, anxiety and depersonalization more frequently co-occur when people catastrophically misinterpret their symptoms or have lower emotional distress tolerance.
