We operationalized and tested E. R. Hilgard's (1973a, 1977b) neodissociation theory. His work suggested that the dissociation necessary for experiencing hypnotic phenomena may be attributable to a general capacity for dissociation that should be measurable outside of the domain of hypnosis. We used several types of operational definitions and tasks in order to capture a wide range of meanings. The performances of 169 undergraduates on clerical/motor and cognitive tasks in selective attention and divided attention conditions, as well as the degree of incidental learning, were correlated with scores on the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility. The results do not support a neodissociation theory despite the study's respectable convergent-discriminant validity. Although conceptual and methodological considerations were noted, the results may indicate an important limitation of the explanatory power of E. R. Hilgard's neodissociation theory.
我们实施并测试了E.R.希尔加德（1973a，1977b）的新解离理论。他的研究表明，体验催眠现象所需的解离可能归因于一种普遍的解离能力，这种能力应该可以在催眠领域之外进行测量。我们使用了几种类型的操作定义和任务，以涵盖广泛的含义。169名本科生在选择性注意和分散注意条件下的文书/运动和认知任务表现，以及附带学习程度，与哈佛群体催眠易感性量表得分相关。尽管该研究具有可观的聚合-判别效度，但结果并不支持新解离理论。虽然提到了概念和方法上的考虑，但结果可能表明E.R.希尔加德新解离理论的解释力存在重要局限性。
