Real, hypnotized and simulating, unhypnotized subjects were instructed to use either a constructive or a concentrative cognitive style when attempting to respond to a suggestion for hypnotic blindness; also, some subjects were administered the suggestion without any instructions about cognitive style. More reals who received the constructive rather than the concentrative instructions reported complete blindness; a similar number of simulators who received the different instructions reported complete blindness. Moreover, reals who received the constructive instruction reported a more rapidly developed belief in their blindness. The findings are discussed in terms of the relevance of cognitive style to subjects' reports of hypnotic blindness, and the possibility is considered that both reports of and belief in hypnotic blindness are determined in part by cognitive style.
真实的、被催眠的以及假装被催眠的未被催眠受试者，在尝试回应催眠性失明的暗示时，被指示使用建设性或专注性的认知风格；此外，一些受试者在没有关于认知风格的任何指示的情况下接受了该暗示。接受建设性而非专注性指示的真实受试者中，报告完全失明的人数更多；接受不同指示的假装被催眠的受试者中，报告完全失明的人数也类似。此外，接受建设性指示的真实受试者报告称，他们对失明的信念形成得更快。研究结果从认知风格与受试者催眠性失明报告的相关性方面进行了讨论，并考虑了催眠性失明的报告和信念部分由认知风格决定的可能性。
