In this article, we report two experiments in which various measures thought to be related to hypnotizability were analyzed by stepwise discriminant analysis techniques. Absorption (Tellegen, 1981, 1982; Tellegen & Atkinson, 1974) and preference for an imagic style of thinking (Isaacs, 1982) were robust predictors of hypnotizability; each variable accounted for significant variance in hypnotizability at their respective steps in two samples and correctly classified a significant proportion of low- and high-hypnotizable subjects in the discriminant analyses. The addition of two other variables in Experiment 2--a Sleep-Dream score derived from Evans's (1977) Cognitive Control of Sleep Mentation subscale and Gibson's (1985) Dream Questionnaire, and the Belief in the Supernatural subscale of the Taft (1969) Experience Questionnaire--increased the correct classification of the medium-hypnotizable subjects from chance levels to 74%. It is argued that a confirmatory and hierarchical approach is needed in future studies to explore correlates of hypnotizability more fully.
在本文中，我们报告了两项实验，其中运用逐步判别分析技术对各种被认为与催眠易感性相关的测量指标进行了分析。专注性（泰勒根，1981年、1982年；泰勒根和阿特金森，1974年）以及对形象思维方式的偏好（艾萨克斯，1982年）是催眠易感性的有力预测指标；在两个样本中，每个变量在各自步骤中都解释了催眠易感性的显著方差，并且在判别分析中正确分类了很大比例的低催眠易感性和高催眠易感性受试者。在实验2中增加了另外两个变量——一个源自埃文斯（1977年）睡眠心理认知控制分量表和吉布森（1985年）梦问卷的睡眠-梦得分，以及塔夫脱（1969年）体验问卷中的超自然信念分量表——将中等催眠易感性受试者的正确分类从随机水平提高到了74%。有人认为，未来的研究需要采用验证性和分层方法来更全面地探索催眠易感性的相关因素。
