Specifying a cancellation cue for posthypnotic suggestion helps real participants maintain responding longer than those without a cue. This highlights the influence of individual and situational factors in hypnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Science
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Posthypnotic suggestion involves performing an action after hypnosis based on a trigger.
  • Understanding factors influencing the duration and adherence to posthypnotic suggestions is crucial in hypnosis research.
  • The role of explicit cancellation cues in modulating hypnotic responses requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of specifying a cancellation cue on posthypnotic suggestion adherence.
  • To compare responding between real hypnotic participants and simulators under different cue conditions.
  • To explore the interplay of individual, interpersonal, and situational factors in hypnotic responding.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a real-simulating paradigm with 36 real and 20 simulating participants.

  • Administered posthypnotic suggestions with either a specified cancellation cue or no cue.
  • Measured responding across four distinct tests: formal, embedded, informal, and postexperimental.

    • Main Results:

    • Overall responding to posthypnotic suggestions decreased across the four testing phases.
    • Real participants who received a specified cancellation cue maintained responding significantly longer than simulators in the cue condition.
    • Real and simulator participants in the no-cue condition showed shorter response durations compared to those with a cue.

    Conclusions:

    • The presence and specification of a cancellation cue significantly influence the duration of posthypnotic responding.
    • Individual differences and situational context interact to affect adherence to hypnotic suggestions.
    • Participants actively engage in and modulate hypnotically induced behaviors, even after hypnosis concludes.
