Behavioral and subjective scoring of the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility: further data and an extension.

The American journal of clinical hypnosis·1996

The Phenomenology of Consciousness Inventory effectively predicts hypnotic susceptibility in nursing students. This self-report tool offers a less obtrusive alternative to traditional methods like the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Hypnotic susceptibility is a key area of psychological research.
  • Accurate measurement of hypnotic susceptibility is crucial for various applications.
  • Existing methods, such as the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, can be obtrusive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the predictive validity of the Phenomenology of Consciousness Inventory for hypnotic susceptibility.
  • To compare the effectiveness of the Phenomenology of Consciousness Inventory with the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility.
  • To determine if the inventory can serve as a less obtrusive measure of hypnotic susceptibility.

Main Methods:

  • Administered the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility to 300 nursing students.

  • Utilized the Phenomenology of Consciousness Inventory for self-report after hypnotic induction.
  • Performed regression analyses to assess the correlation between predicted and actual hypnotic susceptibility.

    • Main Results:

    • A multiple R of .67 was found between measured and predicted hypnotic susceptibility using the inventory.
    • A validity coefficient of .61 was obtained, confirming predictive accuracy against prior research.
    • The results indicate strong concordance between the inventory's predictions and established measures.

    Conclusions:

    • The Phenomenology of Consciousness Inventory demonstrates significant utility in predicting hypnotic susceptibility.
    • The inventory offers a promising, less obtrusive alternative for assessing hypnotic susceptibility in research and clinical settings.
    • Findings support the use of self-report inventories for measuring complex psychological states like hypnosis.
