Abstract
Simulator control subjects behave very much like hypnotized Reals in terms of general appearance and physiological variables. However, in a group of 25 subjects the use of a potent anxiety stimulus did demonstrate differences between Reals and Simulators. The hynotized subjects showed a greater average heart rate during the anxiety stimulus and during the post-anxiety rest period. Perhaps the most striking finding is that Reals showed positive correlations between susceptibility to hypnosis and heart rate during these 2 periods. In contrast, the Simulators showed negative correlations between susceptibility to hypnosis and heart rate during the anxiety stimulus and the post-anxiety period.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
