There is provided a polyarylene sulfide dispersion coated with a cationic group-containing organic polymer compound and having high dispersion stability and excellent adhesion or adhesiveness to any one of substrates of plastic, metals, glass, and the like even at a high polyarylene sulfide resin concentration. The object is solved by providing a polyarylene sulfide dispersion including polyarylene sulfide particles, which are coated with a cationic group-containing organic polymer compound by a base precipitation method and thus exhibit high stability even at a high concentration, and also providing powder particles (fine particles) produced from the dispersion.
