In hypnotic responding, expectancies arising from imaginative suggestion drive striking experiential changes (e.g., hallucinations) - which are experienced as involuntary - according to a normally distributed and stable trait ability (hypnotisability). Such experiences can be triggered by implicit suggestion and occur outside the hypnotic context. In large sample studies (of 156, 404 and 353 participants), we report substantial relationships between hypnotisability and experimental measures of experiential change in mirror-sensory synaesthesia and the rubber hand illusion comparable to relationships between hypnotisability and individual hypnosis scale items. The control of phenomenology to meet expectancies arising from perceived task requirements can account for experiential change in psychological experiments.
在催眠反应中，想象性暗示所产生的期望会根据通常分布且稳定的特质能力（催眠能力）驱动显著的体验变化（例如幻觉）——这些变化被体验为非自愿的。这种体验可以通过内隐暗示触发，并发生在催眠环境之外。在大规模样本研究（涉及 156、404 和 353 名参与者）中，我们报告了催眠能力与镜像感觉联觉和橡胶手错觉的实验性体验变化测量之间存在实质性关系，与催眠能力和个体催眠量表项目之间的关系相当。为了满足感知到的任务要求所产生的期望，可以控制现象学来解释心理实验中的体验变化。
