Response to the ponzo illusion as a reflection of hypnotic susceptibility

Abstract

A ample of 106 Ss wm examined in terms of hypnotizability and mceptibility to the Pornzo illusion. Significant differences were found among low-, medium-, and high-hypnotizability male Ss in P o w aueoeptibility when intergroup comparisons were made, although the nature of mch differences did not appear when correlational procedures were d. These reeults and the presence of non-hear trends in the data are discussed with reference to the possible inappropriateness of using corrdationsl procedures when evaluating personality concomitanta of hypnoti5abilityJ and with reference to the possible importance of sex differencea in such studies.
