The relationship between hypnotizability, personality style, and attachment was examined according to sex in 99 student participants. No specific differences for personality and hypnotizability were found in the highly hypnotizable participants according to sex. Similarly, no differences were found between high, medium, and low hypnotizable females, though differences were found among males. For males, the best predictor of hypnotizability was the unselfish/self-sacrificing personality style, which explained 40% of variance. This was in contrast to low hypnotizable males, who were less spontaneous/borderline, self-critical/avoidant, unselfish/self-sacrificing, but more assertive/antisocial. In comparison with females, low hypnotizable males were less intuitive/schizotypal and less loyal/dependent. Within the whole sample and among securely attached high hypnotizables, two peaks were observed for charming/histrionic and optimistic/rhapsodic styles, which suggests a "prone to hypnosis" personality style. Such people are optimistic and charming, and tend to be securely attached. This may suggest a high self-selection bias in hypnosis experiments and potentially creates confounds for the majority of such studies.
在99名学生参与者中，根据性别对催眠易感性、人格类型和依恋关系进行了研究。在高催眠易感性参与者中，未发现人格和催眠易感性在性别上有特定差异。同样，高、中、低催眠易感性的女性之间未发现差异，不过男性之间存在差异。对于男性而言，催眠易感性的最佳预测因素是无私/自我牺牲的人格类型，其解释了40%的方差。这与低催眠易感性的男性形成对比，他们不那么自发/边缘、自我批评/回避、无私/自我牺牲，但更坚定/反社会。与女性相比，低催眠易感性的男性不那么直觉/分裂型，也不那么忠诚/依赖。在整个样本以及安全依恋的高催眠易感性者中，观察到迷人/表演型和乐观/狂热型人格类型出现了两个峰值，这表明存在一种“易于催眠”的人格类型。这类人乐观且迷人，往往具有安全依恋。这可能表明在催眠实验中存在高度的自我选择偏差，并可能给大多数此类研究造成混淆。
