Hypnosis induction and trance depth showed no significant differences between deaf and hearing women. This study explored visual (sign language) versus oral hypnosis delivery, finding comparable results in hypnotic responses.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Clinical Hypnosis
  • Deaf Studies

Background:

  • Limited research exists on hypnosis utilization with deaf populations.
  • Understanding hypnotic responses in deaf individuals is crucial for inclusive therapeutic practices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare objective and subjective responses to hypnotic induction techniques in deaf and hearing undergraduate women.
  • To examine similarities and differences in the hypnosis induction process and hypnotic responses between deaf and hearing subjects.
  • To investigate trance indicators in both deaf and hearing populations.

Main Methods:

  • Two different hypnotic induction techniques were employed.
  • Hypnosis was administered orally to hearing participants.
  • Hypnosis was delivered visually through sign language to deaf participants.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences were found in objective trance depth between deaf and hearing participants.
  • No significant differences were observed in self-report measures of trance depth between the two groups.
  • Both deaf and hearing participants exhibited comparable hypnotic responses.

Conclusions:

  • Hypnosis appears to be an effective tool for both deaf and hearing individuals.
  • Visual (sign language) and oral hypnosis delivery methods yield similar outcomes in trance depth.
  • Further research should explore the nuances of hypnosis with diverse deaf populations.
