Data on the hypnotizability of 113 psychiatric inpatients and 58 normal control subjects were compared. The patients' mean score on the Hypnotic Induction Profile was significantly lower than that of the control subjects, but on the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale: Form C, these patients and control subjects did not differ significantly. On both scales rank-ordered scores of different diagnostic groups of the patients supported the theory that hypnotizability varies according to type of psychopathology. Some results, such as the hypnotizability of the schizophrenic patients, depended on which scale was used. This finding may explain the conflicting literature on the hypnotic potential of schizophrenic patients.
对113名精神科住院患者和58名正常对照者的催眠易感性数据进行了比较。患者在《催眠诱导剖面图》上的平均得分显著低于对照组，但在《斯坦福催眠易感性量表：C型》上，这些患者与对照组没有显著差异。在这两个量表上，患者不同诊断组的排序分数均支持催眠易感性随精神病理学类型而变化的理论。一些结果，如精神分裂症患者的催眠易感性，取决于使用的是哪个量表。这一发现可能解释了关于精神分裂症患者催眠潜力的相互矛盾的文献。
