    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • The relationship between hypnotizability and academic performance is not well-established.
    • Common misconceptions suggest that individuals with poor psychological health or low intelligence are more hypnotizable.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the correlation between hypnotizability and academic performance in medical students.
    • To challenge prevailing misconceptions about hypnotizability.

    Main Methods:

    • Administered the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form: A (HGSHS:A) to 45 medical students.
    • Compared hypnotizability scores with performance on a test examination.

    Main Results:

    • A significant positive correlation (r = 0.59) was found between hypnotizability and examination performance.
    • The study disproved the misconception that only psychologically weak individuals are hypnotizable.

    Conclusions:

    • Hypnotizability is positively associated with academic success in medical students.
    • This suggests that hypnotizability may be a trait independent of psychological weakness or low intelligence.
