Suggestibility and Hypnotizability: Mind the Gap

Pages 205-210 | Published online: 21 Sep 2011
 

Abstract

Suggestion, both within and outside of hypnosis, can influence many psychological processes, including cognition and emotion. Moreover, suggestion may account for many individual differences and promote the investigation of such mainstream fields as attention and memory. To be sure, exploring the power of suggestion will likely pave the road to a more scientific understanding of such psychological phenomena as motivation, expectation, and the placebo effect.

Suggestibilité et hypnosabilité: Différences à prendre en compte

La suggestion, en hypnose ou en dehors de l'hypnose, peut influencer les processus psychologiques comme la cognition et l'émotion. De plus, la suggestion peut prendre en compte les différences individuelles et promouvoir la recherche en ces larges domaines comme l'attention et la mémoire. Pour s'en assurer, l'exploration du pouvoir de la suggestion ouvrira la voie à une compréhension plus scientifique des phénomènes psychologiques comme la motivation, l'attente et l'effet placebo.

Atenção à separação entre sugestibilidade e hipnotizibilidade

A sugestão (tanto feita dentro como fora da hipnose) pode influenciar muitos processos psicológicos, incluindo as cognições e as emoções. Para além disso, a sugestão pode explicar muitas das diferenças individuais e o seu estudo pode promover a investigação em áreas centrais da psicologia como a atenção e a memória. Explorar o poder da sugestão irá provavelmente preparar o caminho para uma melhor compreensão científica de fenómenos psicológicos como a motivação, as expectativas e o efeito placebo.
