Hypnotic Suggestibility and Academic Achievement: a Preliminary Study
نویسنده
چکیده
A correlational study examined the relationship between hypnotic suggestibility and academic achievement. Fifty-eight undergraduate students were administered the HGSHS:A (Shor and Orne, 1962) and their assessment grades from a range of taught modules were collected. Significant negative correlations were found, showing that the higher the academic achievement, the lower the hypnotic suggestibility. Multiple regression found that academic grades were signif icant predictors of hypnotic suggestibility. The implications are discussed.

Placebo Response Correlates With Hypnotic Suggestibility
Placebo response shares phenomenology and likely overlaps with substrates of cognition and personality. However, inconsistent findings abound regarding the potential link between suggestibility and responding to placebos. Here we directly probe whether suggestibility of the hypnotic type influences placebo response. Fifty healthy undergraduates underwent a standard measure of hypnotic suggestib...
متن کاملResponse expectancies, treatment credibility, and hypnotic suggestibility: mediator and moderator effects in hypnotic and cognitive-behavioral pain interventions.
BACKGROUND Several studies have shown that response expectancies are an important mechanism of popular psychological interventions for pain. However, there has been no research on whether response expectancies and treatment credibility independently mediate hypnotic and cognitive-behavioral pain interventions and whether the pattern of mediation is affected by experience with the interventions....
متن کاملThe Psychology of Suggestion and Heightened Suggestibility
Hypnosis is associated with profound changes in conscious thought, experience and behaviour and has a long clinical and experimental history. Data on the nature and role of hypnotic induction procedures is still somewhat lacking however, and probably the only thing one can say about them with any conviction is that they enhance suggestibility in some cases. Nevertheless, a review and re-analyse...
متن کاملDifferential patterns of spontaneous experiential response to a hypnotic induction: a latent profile analysis.
A hypnotic induction produces different patterns of spontaneous experiences across individuals. The magnitude and characteristics of these responses covary moderately with hypnotic suggestibility, but also differ within levels of hypnotic suggestibility. This study sought to identify discrete phenomenological profiles in response to a hypnotic induction and assess whether experiential variabili...
متن کاملStructural and Functional Cerebral Correlates of Hypnotic Suggestibility
Little is known about the neural bases of hypnotic suggestibility, a cognitive trait referring to the tendency to respond to hypnotic suggestions. In the present magnetic resonance imaging study, we performed regression analyses to assess hypnotic suggestibility-related differences in local gray matter volume, using voxel-based morphometry, and in waking resting state functional connectivity of...
