The authors investigated the roles of hypnosis, hypnotizability, and attributions in autobiographical pseudomemories. Experiment 1 administered a suggestion for recall of their second birthday to hypnotized high and low hypnotizable participants and nonhypnotized, high hypnotizable participants; Experiment 2 administered a similar suggestion to real and simulating participants. Recall was tested during hypnosis, after hypnosis, and after a challenge procedure. In Experiment 1, more highs than lows reported a memory during hypnosis; however, following the challenge, half the walking highs but none of the hypnosis highs retracted their memory. Notably, highs attributed their memories to reconstructions based on other birthdays. In Experiment 2, whereas an equal number of reals and simulators reported a memory of their second birthday during hypnosis and then retracted following the challenge, they made different attributions about their memories. These findings highlight the value of a closer investigation of attributional processes that reconcile believed-in autobiographical memories with conflicting evidence.
作者们研究了催眠、催眠易感性和归因在自传体虚假记忆中的作用。实验1对被催眠的高、低催眠易感性参与者以及未被催眠的高催眠易感性参与者提出了回忆他们第二个生日的暗示;实验2对真实参与者和模拟参与者提出了类似的暗示。在催眠期间、催眠后以及经过一个挑战程序后对回忆进行了测试。在实验1中,更多的高催眠易感性参与者在催眠期间报告有记忆;然而,在挑战之后,一半的行走的高催眠易感性参与者撤回了他们的记忆,而催眠的高催眠易感性参与者无一撤回。值得注意的是,高催眠易感性参与者将他们的记忆归因于基于其他生日的重构。在实验2中,虽然在催眠期间有相同数量的真实参与者和模拟参与者报告有他们第二个生日的记忆,并且在挑战之后撤回了记忆,但他们对自己的记忆做出了不同的归因。这些发现凸显了更深入研究归因过程的价值,这些过程将被相信的自传体记忆与相互矛盾的证据协调起来。
