Abstract
The relationship between situational variables and hypnotic susceptibility has been a topic of considerable controversy. This study manipulated 2 situational variables: the attitude of E and the prestige of the experimental situation. 3 E-attitudes were presented by having E treat Ss in a warm, cold, or neutral manner. Prestige was varied by using a clinic conference room with E as a doctor and a laboratory storeroom with E as a student. The hypnotist was on tape and was clearly differentiated from E. The results do not support the idea that initial hypnotic susceptibility is affected by these extraneous variables.Keywords
