Abstract:
This study assessed the validity and reliability of the Brief Remote Elkins Alldredge Test of Hypnotizability (BREATH). The BREATH is a brief adaptation of the Elkins Hypnotizability Scale (EHS) based on prior confirmatory factor analysis of the EHS. One hundred college students at Baylor University's department of psychology and neuroscience were recruited for this study. Hypnotizability levels were normally distributed across participants for both scales. The BREATH had a significant correlation with the EHS-CF (rs = .505, p < .001), and good internal consistency. Therefore, there is empirical evidence that supports the reliability and validity of the BREATH, affirming its utility for digital assessment.
