Enhancing hypnotic susceptibility: interpersonal and rapport factors.

摘要: This research supported the hypothesis that hypnosis can be thought of as a set potentially modifiable social-cognitive skills and attitudes. A low-interpersonal-training treatment devised by Gorassini Spanos (1986) was compared with designed to modify not only cognitive factors but also augment rapport trainer diminish resistance responding (high-interpersonal training). Fifty percent initially unhypnotizable subjects in high-interpersonal condition tested being highly susceptible (high susceptibles) at posttest on Harvard Group Scale Hypnotic Susceptibility (Shor & Orne, 1962); 25% low-interpersonal responded comparably.
