Table 4 Comparing the strength of correlation of depersonalization severity with anxiety, depression, somatization and general distress

From: A case series of 223 patients with depersonalization-derealization syndrome

 

Pearson correlation of the CDS-2 score

Comparison of the correlation coefficients by Fisher r-to-z transformation

 

DDS (n = 223)

Only Depressed Group (n = 1129)

Severity of anxiety (GAD-7)

r = 0.24***

r = 0.41***

z = -2.57, p = 0.0102

Severity of social anxiety (Mini-spin)

r = 0.11, n.s.

r = 0.35**

z = - -3.46, p = 0.0005

Severity of depression (PHQ-9)

r = 0.25***

r = 0.46***

z = -3.25, p = 0.0012

Severity of somatization (PHQ-15)

r = 0.01, n.s.

r = 0.26***

z = -3.44, p = 0.0006

Severity of general distress (GSI)

r = 0.27***

r = 0.47***

z = -3.14, p = 0.0017

  1. DDS, patients with depersonalization-derealization syndrome; Fisher r-to-z transformation: Negative z indicates that the correlation coefficient in the DDS group is significantly weaker than that in the ODG; ***, p < 0.0001; n.s., not significant; **, p < 0.001
