Abstract: We examined dissociation as a coping mechanism during the COVID-19 pandemic. There were 61 participants surveyed at 2 timepoints. Correlations indicated that "zoning" behaviors at Time 1 were moderately correlated with anxiety increases at Time 2. No other dissociative behaviors were significantly related to anxiety.
