In factor analyses of the hypnosis scales, the essential result is that the items form a continuous, 2-dimensional fan-shaped pattern. This continuum is referred to as the "spectrum of hypnotic performance." "Special analysis" is introduced as an exploratory procedure which makes use of this notion of continuum or spectrum. Spectral analysis consists of a graphical display of the level of latent correlation between a variable and individual hypnotic performances when the latter are arranged according to their position in the spectrum. The spectral analysis of hypnotic performance with respect to absorption is illustrated using data from a sample of 160 Ss. The results indicate that absorption is more strongly related to difficult hypnotic performances than to easy ones. In particular, illustrative item characteristic curves are presented to show that although easy hypnotic performances do not require the processes tapped by individual differences in absorption, a certain level of absorption is necessary to pass difficult hypnotic items. In addition, a high level of absorption may be sufficient in and of itself for difficult hypnotic performances. These results are discussed in light of some speculations by Shor, M. T. Orne, and O'Connell (1962) and Tellegen (1978/1979) concerning the differential contribution of ability components to performance on difficult hypnotic suggestions. The results are also related to a variety of work in social psychological models of hypnotic performance.
在催眠量表的因素分析中，基本结果是各项目形成一个连续的二维扇形模式。这个连续体被称为“催眠表现谱”。引入“特殊分析”作为一种探索性程序，它利用了这种连续体或谱的概念。谱分析包括当个体催眠表现根据其在谱中的位置排列时，一个变量与这些表现之间潜在相关性水平的图形展示。使用来自160名被试样本的数据说明了关于专注性的催眠表现的谱分析。结果表明，专注性与困难的催眠表现的相关性比与容易的催眠表现更强。特别地，给出了说明性的项目特征曲线，以表明尽管容易的催眠表现不需要由专注性个体差异所挖掘的过程，但通过困难的催眠项目需要一定水平的专注性。此外，对于困难的催眠表现，高水平的专注性本身可能就足够了。根据肖尔、M.T.奥恩和奥康奈尔（1962年）以及泰勒根（1978/1979年）关于能力成分对困难催眠暗示表现的不同贡献的一些推测，对这些结果进行了讨论。这些结果也与催眠表现的社会心理模型中的各种研究相关。
