\nExposure to trauma can result in attentional changes consistent with increasingly intense
\nrumination and re-experiencing. Patient reports of these attentional changes parallel
\ndescriptions of the constructs of dissociation and absorption, each of which have been
\nindependently associated with aspects of posttraumatic stress symptoms. Additional
\nresearch is needed to understand the nature of the relationship of each of dissociation
\nand absorption with posttraumatic stress symptoms. The current study assessed the
\nrelationships between dissociation and absorption, using a psychometrically-supported
\nmeasure designed specifically for researching dissociative and absorbed states of attentional
\nallocation (Attentional Resource Allocation Scale; ARAS) and posttraumatic stress symptom
\nclusters. A clinical sample of people with posttraumatic stress disorder (n=30; 67% women)
\nand an analogue community sample of people reporting traumatic exposure (n=222; 86%
\nwomen) participated in this study. Trait dissociation, state dissociation, and absorption
\nwere expected to differentially predict posttraumatic stress symptom clusters. In addition
\nto supporting the factorial validity of the ARAS, results indicated that absorption and
\nstate, but not trait, dissociation were the primary predictors of re-experiencing, avoidance,
\nnumbing, and hyperarousal. These results suggest that trait absorption in combination
\nwith state dissociation during trauma may be involved in the maintenance of posttraumatic
\nstress symptoms. Comprehensive results, implications, limitations, and directions for future
\nresearch are discussed.
