Abstract
Sex differences in hypnotic susceptibility were investigated in a sample of 210 children. The Children's Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale (London, 1963) was administered to 10 boys and 10 girls at each age level for 5 through 16 years of age. There were no differences between the means of the boys and girls at any age for the 3 scores yielded by the measure. The per cent passing each item at each age for each sex was also computed. Of the resulting 264 comparisons only 1 (item 10, Eye Catalepsy) was found to be significantly different at 1 age level (7 years of age) and was attributed to chance. It was concluded that there were no sex differences for the various items at the ages tested.
