Between-group differences in demographic variables and predictor variables were assessed using Student’s t-test for continuous variables and Pearson’s chi-square for binary variables. Raw DES data was log transformed. Between-group comparisons concerning continuous dissociative symptomatology were conducted using linear regression and between-group comparisons concerning binary categories using logistic regression.
Analyses pertaining to comparisons of adolescents and adults with BPD were conducted controlling for sex and race. Linear regression analyses were used in the predictor analyses. All bivariate predictors with a p-level of < 0.05 were then analyzed in a multivariate model using backwards deletion to attain the most parsimonious model. The significance level for this model was set at < 0.01.
