It was suggested by Gibson & Curran (1974) that the rather complex relationships found to obtain between hypnotic susceptibility and the personality parameters of extraversion and neuroticism might be understood by considering neuroticism as a moderator variable (as had been suggested by Furneaux & Gibson, 1961). They made the hypothesis that if a tranquillizing drug were administered the operative level of neuroticism would be decreased, and as a consequence the level of susceptibility of neurotic extraverts would be raised, and that of neurotic introverts lowered. This study reports the test-retest data on a sample of 71 subjects on the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scales, half of whom were retested with diazepam and half with nicotinic acid. The hypothesis was confirmed and additional data are given on the drug/placebo effects on each item of the scale. The significance of drugs on different aspects of hypnotic susceptibility in relation to personality is discussed.
吉布森和柯伦（1974年）提出，催眠易感性与外向性和神经质等人格参数之间存在的相当复杂的关系，或许可以通过将神经质视为一个调节变量来理解（正如弗诺克斯和吉布森在1961年所建议的那样）。他们提出假设：如果服用一种镇静药物，神经质的有效水平将会降低，结果是，神经质外向者的易感性水平将会提高，而神经质内向者的易感性水平将会降低。本研究报告了对71名受试者样本进行斯坦福催眠易感性量表重测的数据，其中一半受试者用安定进行重测，另一半用烟酸进行重测。该假设得到了证实，并给出了关于药物/安慰剂对量表各项目影响的额外数据。还讨论了药物对与人格相关的催眠易感性不同方面的意义。
