Abstract
This project aimed to assess the consistency of hypnotizability over repeated assessments when measured by the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale: Form C (SHSS:C), and the Elkins Hypnotizability Scale (EHS) and to contrast score distribution and pleasantness of these scales. University students were administered either the SHSS:C or the EHS twice with a one-week delay by separate experimenters. Test-retest reliability of the EHS and the SHSS:C was rs =.82 (.71-.92) and rs =.66, 95% (.47-.86), respectively (Spearman's correlation). Hypnotizability was comparable at test and retest in the EHS group, SHSS:C scores decreased by the retest. We found that the SHSS:C produced higher scores than the EHS, and the pleasantness of the 2 scales was comparable. Overall, our results supported the reliability of the EHS, while SHSS:C scores were more inconsistent between the 2 assessments. More research is warranted.
本项目旨在评估斯坦福催眠敏感性量表:表格C (SHSS:C)和埃尔金斯催眠性量表(EHS)在重复评估中可催眠性的一致性,并对比这些量表的得分分布和愉快性。由不同的实验者分别对大学生进行两次SHSS:C或EHS测试,每隔一周进行一次。EHS和SHSS的重测信度为r s = 0.82(0.71 - 0.92), r s =。66.95% (0.47 - 0.86) (Spearman相关)。EHS组的催眠能力在测试和重测时具有可比性,SHSS:C评分随重测而降低。我们发现SHSS:C比EHS产生更高的得分,并且两个量表的愉悦度具有可比性。总体而言,我们的结果支持EHS的可靠性,而SHSS:C评分在两种评估之间更不一致。需要进行更多的研究。
