Do the verbal reports of deeply hypnotized Ss truthfully reflect their subjective experiences of hypnotic suggestions? Experiment 1 established that the electrodermal skin conductance response (SCR) provides an effective method for detecting deception in the laboratory equally well in hypnotized and nonhypnotized Ss. In Experiment 2, deeply hypnotized and simulating Ss were administered a number of hypnotic suggestions in a typical hypnotic session, without mention of deception, and were questioned about their experiences while SCR measures were recorded concurrently. Results indicate that 89% of the hypnotized Ss' reports met the criterion for truthfulness, whereas only 35% of the simulators' reports met this criterion. Implications for the theory of hypnosis are discussed.
深度催眠受试者的口头报告是否如实反映了他们对催眠暗示的主观体验？实验1证实，皮肤电传导反应（SCR）提供了一种在实验室中检测欺骗行为的有效方法，无论是对催眠状态下的受试者还是未被催眠的受试者都同样适用。在实验2中，对深度催眠的受试者和假装被催眠的受试者进行了一系列典型催眠过程中的催眠暗示，且未提及欺骗相关内容，并在同步记录SCR测量值的同时询问他们的体验。结果表明，89%的被催眠受试者的报告符合真实性标准，而假装被催眠的受试者中只有35%的报告符合这一标准。文中还讨论了该结果对催眠理论的启示。
