Abstract
The main purpose of the present experiment was to investigate whether a posthypnotically released emotion (i.e., a sense of happiness) could modify the frequency of a behavior performed by S. 7 highly susceptible Ss participated in the experiment. They received a posthypnotic suggestion with the implication that each time they made a certain response a sense of happiness would be released. They also received a suggestion of amnesia for the posthypnotic suggestion. In all 7 Ss the response evoked a sense of happiness. The frequency of the response increased significantly in all SS (p-01)Keywords
