“Response expectancy theory suggests that hypnotic suggestion modifies anticipatory schemas and salience attribution (26).”
From Mindfulness and clinical hypnotherapy in sexual desire disorders: mechanisms, psychophysiological pathways, and integrative therapeutic sequencing (2026) · cites this paper as [26]
In the citing paper
“Modern conceptualizations define hypnosis as a contextually shaped state of focused absorption characterized by enhanced responsiveness to suggestion and flexible salience attribution rather than passive compliance (20, 26).”
From Mindfulness and clinical hypnotherapy in sexual desire disorders: mechanisms, psychophysiological pathways, and integrative therapeutic sequencing (2026) · cites this paper as [26]
In the citing paper
“Hypnotherapy emphasizes focused absorption and experiential restructuring, potentially modifying entrenched inhibitory schemas and expectancy patterns (16, 26).”
From Mindfulness and clinical hypnotherapy in sexual desire disorders: mechanisms, psychophysiological pathways, and integrative therapeutic sequencing (2026) · cites this paper as [26]
In the citing paper
“reduced self-reported pain ratings might be partly attributable to undetected biases such as demand characteristics and response expectancies (Lynn et al., 2008)”
From The effectiveness of hypnosis for pain relief: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 85 controlled experimental trials (2019) · cites this paper as Lynn et al., 2008
In the citing paper
“However, the central role of expectancy in hypnotic effects demonstrated in both laboratory and clinical trials (e.g., Lynn et al., 2008) makes it unclear whether these types of designs would convey the same information about efficacy as in medical research.”
From Guidelines for the Assessment of Efficacy of Clinical Hypnosis Applications (2022) · cites this paper as Lynn et al., 2008
In the citing paper
“Researchers have replicated positive outcomes on a cross-cultural basis that persist for up to 2.5 years and are not readily explicable in terms of compliance as gains transfer from the original training context (see Lynn et al., 2008).”
From Myths and misconceptions about hypnosis and suggestion: Separating fact and fiction (2020) · cites this paper as Lynn et al., 2008
In the citing paper
“Specifically, many social-cognitive models place an emphasis on subject beliefs as playing an important (if not critical or central) role in hypnotic responding (Kirsch, 1991; Lynn, Kirsch, & Hallquist, 2008).”
From Brain oscillations, hypnosis, and hypnotizability (2015) · cites this paper as Lynn, Kirsch, & Hallquist, 2008

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.
