Absorption and imagic thinking preference strongly predict hypnotizability. Adding sleep-dream and supernatural belief measures improved classification accuracy for medium hypnotizability subjects.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Hypnotizability is a key trait in understanding human consciousness.
  • Previous research has identified various potential correlates of hypnotizability, but their predictive power remains debated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify robust predictors of hypnotizability.
  • To explore the combined predictive power of multiple psychological measures on hypnotizability.

Main Methods:

  • Two experiments utilized stepwise discriminant analysis to examine relationships between psychological measures and hypnotizability.
  • Key measures included absorption, preference for imagic thinking, sleep-dream variables, and belief in the supernatural.

Main Results:

  • Absorption and preference for imagic thinking were significant predictors of hypnotizability, classifying low- and high-hypnotizable subjects effectively.

  • In Experiment 2, the addition of sleep-dream and supernatural belief measures increased the correct classification of medium-hypnotizable subjects to 74%.

    • Conclusions:

    • Absorption and imagic thinking are crucial correlates of hypnotizability.
    • A hierarchical and confirmatory approach is recommended for future research on hypnotizability correlates.
