Carleton Skills Training (CST) improved objective hypnotizability scores but not subjective experiences. The instructions component was crucial for any observed changes in participants undergoing hypnosis training.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Hypnosis Research

Background:

  • Hypnotizability is a trait influencing an individual's response to hypnosis.
  • The Carleton Skills Training (CST) program aims to enhance hypnotizability.
  • Understanding the efficacy of different training components is crucial for optimizing hypnosis interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the Carleton Skills Training (CST) program in low-hypnotizable individuals.
  • To determine the impact of different training component sequences on hypnotizability.
  • To differentiate between objective behavioral changes and subjective hypnotic experiences.

Main Methods:

  • Twelve low-hypnotizable participants were administered the CST program's three components: information, modeling, and instructions.

  • Components were delivered in one of three distinct sequences.
  • Hypnotizability was measured objectively and subjectively before, after each component, and post-training.

    • Main Results:

    • Objective hypnotizability scores showed significant improvement from screening to post-training assessment.
    • Subjective reports of hypnotic experience did not significantly change, indicating a dissociation between behavior and subjective feeling.
    • The 'instructions' component was identified as the key element driving changes, regardless of its position in the training sequence.

    Conclusions:

    • The CST program can enhance objective measures of hypnotizability, suggesting improved behavioral compliance.
    • The training may not effectively induce the subjective experiences typically associated with hypnosis.
    • The 'instructions' component is essential for any observed gains in hypnotizability within the CST framework.
