| Sumario: | There is a lack of research about dissociative experiences in young non-clinical population, especially in children. Considering this and the association of anxiety and depression symptoms along with rumination, this study aimed to explore the relationship between those transdiagnostic variables and dissociation in children. Children (N= 588, 46.4% were boys) aged between 9 and 12 years (Mage = 11.04 years, SD = .76) filled out the Patient Reported Outcomes Measure Information System, the Brief State Rumination Inventory, and the Adolescent Dissociative Experiences Scale. Children who exhibited higher scores in dissociative experiences were more likely to score higher in depressive symptoms, anxious symptoms, and rumination. Rumination, depression, and anxiety were significantly associated with dissociation considering gender and age as control factors. Our results showed the presence of dissociative experiences in children, and its association with other important variables that seem to predispose the detonation of this symptomatology. These outcomes highlight the undoubted necessity of an early prevention of dissociation where we should considerate the key role of rumination, depression, and anxiety. |
