Ukrainian DSPS Validation: Psychometric Data from 1,119 Trauma-Exposed Adults

A psychometric validation dataset for the Ukrainian version of the Dissociative Subtype of PTSD Scale (DSPS). The data includes responses from 1,119 trauma-exposed Ukrainian participants, collected via an online study using convenience and snowball sampling. The dataset was created by Anton Kurapov and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Validate the three-factor structure (derealization/depersonalization, loss of awareness, psychogenic amnesia) of the DSPS scale based on the confirmatory factor analysis mentioned.
• Assess the relationship between dissociative symptoms and comorbid conditions like PTSD, depression, and anxiety based on the convergent validity analysis described.
• Investigate the correlation between dissociation and somatic symptoms in war-affected samples as highlighted in the study results.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a substantial sample of 1,119 participants.
• The scale demonstrated high internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha values between 0.83 and 0.87.
• Validation includes assessment of convergent and discriminant validity with other established psychological measures.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the underlying data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data collection used convenience and snowball sampling, which may introduce selection bias.
