We will here review experimental work on subjects' reports of being hypnotized, using an attribution theory framework. Subjective experiences accompanying a hypnotic induction procedure and test suggestions are ambiguous, and, therefore, subjects rely on contextual information in order to label these experiences. Thus, subjects are most likely to define themselves as hypnotized when the situation is convincingly defined as hypnosis and when they observe that their responses are consistent with their conception of hypnosis. Other variables which influence subjects' reports include expert opinion and the wording of the scales used to assess subjective experiences. Rather than accurately reflecting a unique state of the person, reports of being hypnotized appear to represent the outcome of a complex interaction involving contextual information, self-observation, and pre-conceptions concerning hypnosis.
我们将在此利用归因理论框架，回顾关于受试者被催眠报告的实验研究。催眠诱导程序和测试建议所伴随的主观体验具有模糊性，因此，受试者依靠情境信息来对这些体验进行归类。所以，当情境被令人信服地界定为催眠，且受试者观察到自己的反应与他们对催眠的认知一致时，他们最有可能将自己定义为被催眠了。其他影响受试者报告的变量包括专家意见以及用于评估主观体验的量表措辞。关于被催眠的报告似乎代表了一个复杂互动的结果，该互动涉及情境信息、自我观察以及对催眠的先入之见，而不是准确反映一个人的独特状态。
