Abstract
2 scales of involvement in absorbing experiences, developed independently by Tellegen (1976) and Swanson (1978), were compared with each other and with a group version of the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale, Form C (Weitzenhoffer & Hilgard, 1962). Significantly positive correlations were obtained for all three comparisons. The results further confirm the relationship between hypnotic susceptibility and absorption, providing new evidence for the existence of stable individual differences in hypnotizability.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
