Non‐hypnotic Experiences Related to Hypnotizability in Male and Female College Students

Ås, A. Non‐hypnotic experiences related to hypnotizability in male and female college students. Scand. J. Psychol., 1962, 3, 112–131.—Some recent research on the relation between subjective experiences and hypnotic susceptibility is reviewed. In a male sample of 50 subjects significant correlations between scores on the Experience Inventory and hypnotizability were found. A cross‐validation of composite experience scores on this sample and a female sample studied earlier gave positive results. Based on several sources of data a preliminary analysis is made of the similarities and differences between male and female students regarding experiences related to hypnotizability.
