The effects of tailored versus scripted hypnotic inductions were tested with the intention of shedding light on age regression phenomena. From an initial pool of 31 volunteers, 10 males and 10 females who scored 3 or better on the Stanford Hypnotic Clinical Scale, participated in this study. Participants were assigned to either scripted or tailored hypnotic induction conditions for regression to age 5. The age specific developmental task was to indicate for each of 10 abstract figure pairs, which of each pair "was upside down". Both groups showed significant focal point dependency. However, the tailored induction group showed significantly greater focal point dependency characteristic of 5-year-old children, in contrast to the scripted induction group. It appears that tailored hypnotic inductions may provide a better avenue for the ego to regulate its own degree of regression. The better match to personality style takes advantage of the naturally occurring ego-syntonic capacities of the participant, thereby facilitating greater hypnotic responsiveness.
为了阐明年龄退行现象，对定制式与脚本式催眠诱导的效果进行了测试。从最初的31名志愿者中，挑选出10名男性和10名在斯坦福催眠临床量表上得分3分或更高的女性参与了这项研究。参与者被分配到脚本式或定制式催眠诱导条件下，以退行到5岁。特定年龄的发展任务是针对10对抽象图形，指出每对图形中哪一个“颠倒了”。两组都表现出显著的焦点依赖性。然而，与脚本式诱导组相比，定制式诱导组表现出明显更强的、5岁儿童特有的焦点依赖性。看来定制式催眠诱导可能为自我调节自身退行程度提供了一条更好的途径。与个性风格的更好匹配利用了参与者自然存在的自我和谐能力，从而促进了更高的催眠反应性。
