The possible relationship between hypnotic susceptibility and familiar handedness was examined. In a mass-testing session of students enrolled in introductory psychology classes, subjects were administered the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form A and were also required to complete a questionnaire that ascertained information on their dominant handedness and that of their immediate family relatives. Subjects who had immediate sinistral relatives scored significantly lower in hypnotic susceptibility compared to those who had a history of familial dextrality. When immediate relatives of the original subject pool were tested on hypnotic susceptibility level, sinistral relatives scored lower in susceptibility than dextral relatives. This may indicate the existence of a familial component in hypnotic susceptibility.
对催眠易感性与惯用手之间可能存在的关系进行了研究。在一次针对心理学入门课程学生的大规模测试中，受试者接受了哈佛群体催眠易感性量表A版的测试，并且还被要求完成一份问卷，该问卷用于确定他们自己以及其直系亲属的优势手信息。与那些有家族性右利手病史的受试者相比，有直系左利手亲属的受试者在催眠易感性测试中的得分显著更低。当对原始受试者群体的直系亲属进行催眠易感性水平测试时，左利手亲属的易感性得分低于右利手亲属。这可能表明催眠易感性中存在家族因素。
