Self-Dissociation as a Predictor of Alienation and Sense of Belonging in University Students

Abstract

Alienation and a sense of belonging are important psychological factors supporting students’ well-being. In the present study, the purpose was to examine the predictive role of Self-Dissociation on alienation and a sense of belonging in university students. A correlational study design was used in the present study. The data on self-dissociation were collected with the Self-Dissociation Inventory-Short Form (SDI-SF), the data on the level of belonging were collected with the General Belonging Scale, and the data on alienation levels were collected with the Student Alienation Scale. A positive relationship was detected in the present study between Self-Dissociation, belonging, and alienation. Also, it was concluded in the study that Self-Dissociation predicted alienation and a sense of belonging. The findings obtained in the study indicate that it is necessary for the experts who will work on alienation and sense of belonging to take into account the self-dissociation concept in their studies.
