    Right-side seating preference in males, not females, correlated with higher hypnotizability. This suggests a link between right-hemisphere function and hypnotizability in right-handed individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Neuroscience
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • Hemispheric asymmetry influences cognitive functions.
    • Lateralized seating preference is a potential indicator of brain lateralization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between hemispheric functioning, indicated by seating preference, and hypnotizability.
    • To explore gender differences in this relationship.

    Main Methods:

    • Assessed hypnotizability using the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotid Susceptibility.
    • Measured creative imagination and mental imagery using specific scales.
    • Analyzed data based on lateralized seating preference (left vs. right side) and gender.

    Main Results:

    • Right-side seating males scored higher on hypnotizability compared to other groups.

  • No significant differences were found for creative imagination or mental imagery scores.
  • Females did not show significant differences based on seating preference.

    • Conclusions:

    • Findings suggest a potential association between right-hemisphere dominance and hypnotizability in males.
    • Lateralized seating preference may serve as a simple behavioral index for hemispheric function relevant to hypnosis.
    • Further research is needed to confirm gender-specific links between brain lateralization and hypnotic susceptibility.
