Test–Retest Reliability of the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale, Form C and the Elkins Hypnotizability Scale

This project aimed to assess the consistency of hypnotizability over repeated assessments when measured by Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale: Form C (SHSS:C), and Elkins Hypnotizability Scale (EHS) contrast score distribution pleasantness these scales. University students were administered either SHSS:C or EHS twice with a one-week delay separate experimenters. Test–retest reliability was rs =.82 (.71-.92) =.66, 95% (.47-.86), respectively (Spearman’s correlation). comparable at test retest in group, scores decreased retest. We found that produced higher than EHS, 2 scales comparable. Overall, our results supported while more inconsistent between assessments. More research is warranted.
