Students were given 1 of 2 versions of the Carleton University Responsiveness to Suggestion Scale (CURSS): (a) the original version, which contains instructions to intentionally imagine goal-directed fantasies, and (b) a modified version, in which instructions for suggestion-related imagery were deleted. Participants were asked to report their goal-directed fantasies and to indicate whether these occurred spontaneously or were generated intentionally. They were also asked whether they had tried intentionally to generate the suggested experience and to indicate whether they had believed that the suggested states of affairs were real (e.g., whether they thought a hallucinated cat really existed). The deletion of instructions for goal-related imagery significantly increased responsiveness to CURSS suggestions. Spontaneous goal-directed imagery was significantly correlated with behavioral response, but intentional imagery was not. Most successful responders tried to generate suggested experiences intentionally, indicated that they could have resisted challenge suggestions if they really wanted to, and reported believing in the reality of suggested ideomotor and challenge experiences but not of cognitive suggestions. Voluntary attempts to generate suggested experiences were correlated with subjective responding.
学生们被给予了卡尔顿大学暗示反应量表（CURSS）的两个版本之一：（a）原始版本，其中包含有意想象目标导向幻想的说明；（b）修改版本，其中与暗示相关的意象说明被删除。参与者被要求报告他们的目标导向幻想，并指出这些幻想是自发出现的还是有意产生的。他们还被问及是否曾有意尝试产生所暗示的体验，并指出他们是否相信所暗示的事态是真实的（例如，他们是否认为幻觉中的猫真的存在）。与目标相关意象的说明的删除显著提高了对CURSS暗示的反应性。自发的目标导向意象与行为反应显著相关，但有意意象则不然。大多数成功的反应者有意尝试产生所暗示的体验，表明如果他们真的想，他们本可以抵制挑战性暗示，并报告相信所暗示的动觉和挑战性体验的真实性，但不相信认知性暗示的真实性。自愿尝试产生所暗示的体验与主观反应相关。
