Abstract:
This study aimed to understand how psychological mindedness, attitudes toward hypnosis, and expectancy of hypnotizability are related to hypnotizability. Ninety-one undergraduate students were given measures pertaining to attitudes toward hypnosis, psychological mindedness, and self-ratings of expectancy of hypnotizability. The subjects were then administered the Elkins Hypnotizability Scale (EHS). Results demonstrated a significant correlation between participant scores on the EHS and the Attitudes Toward Hypnosis Scale (r = .401, p < .01) and self-ratings of expectancy of hypnotizability (r = .391, p < .01). The results of this study did not reveal any statistically significant correlations between psychological mindedness and hypnotizability (r = .113, p > .29) or expectancy of hypnotizability (r = .175, p > .10). Additional research is needed to fully understand the relationship between psychological mindedness and hypnotizability.
