The Carleton Skills Training (CST) program was used to investigate (a) whether increases in hypnotic responsiveness obtained at Carleton University could be replicated at a different laboratory, (b) the influence of demand characteristics on suggestibility gains, and (c) whether initial gains are maintained over time. After two screening sessions, a replication and experimental group received the CST program, while a control group was allowed to practice hypnotic responding. All groups were then tested twice. Whereas the replication group was told that training and testing were part of the same experiment, the experimental group was told that training and testing were unrelated. Trained subjects returned after 4 months for a final session. Results indicated that (a) the CST program does increase hypnotic responsiveness, (b) suggestibility gains found in this study were relatively modest, (c) demand characteristics may influence suggestibility gains, and (d) suggestibility gains were not maintained at follow-up.
卡尔顿技能训练（CST）项目被用于调查：（a）在卡尔顿大学获得的催眠反应性提高是否能在另一个实验室得到复制；（b）需求特征对暗示性提高的影响；以及（c）初始提高是否能随时间维持。经过两次筛选环节后，一个复制组和一个实验组接受了CST项目，而一个对照组被允许练习催眠反应。然后所有组都接受了两次测试。复制组被告知训练和测试是同一实验的一部分，而实验组被告知训练和测试无关。经过4个月后，接受训练的受试者返回进行最后一次测试。结果表明：（a）CST项目确实能提高催眠反应性；（b）本研究中发现的暗示性提高相对较小；（c）需求特征可能会影响暗示性提高；以及（d）在随访时暗示性提高并未维持。
