Abstract

Hypnotic responses have been attributed to 2 mechanisms that are characterized as dissociative. In E. R. Hilgard's (1986) neodissociation theory, responses are hypothesized to be due to a division of consciousness into 2 or more simultaneous streams, separated by an amnesic barrier that prevents access to suggestion-related executive functions, monitoring functions, or both. In K. S. Bowers's (1992) dissociated control theory, hypnotic inductions are hypothesized to weaken frontal control of behavioral schemas, thereby allowing direct activation of behavior by the hypnotist's suggestions. The authors review the empirical base, conceptual issues, and strengths and weaknesses of both theories.

  • When hypnotic suggestibility scales are administered in two purportedly different and unrelated testing sessions, the correlation often vanishes to near zero.

    “Furthermore, when the scales are administered in two purportedly different and unrelated testing sessions, the correlation often vanishes to near zero (Kirsch & Lynn, 1998).”

  • Research associating hypnotic responsiveness with the Dissociative Experiences Scale has secured correlations that only hover around r=.20.

    “Research associating hypnotic responsiveness with the widely used Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES;Carlson & Putnam, 1993) has secured correlations that only hover around r=.20 (e.g., seeKirsch & Lynn, 1998 for a review),”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
