Although hypnotizability exhibits high across-time and across-test consistencies, it is not clear (a) how different preambles to a hypnotic procedure (metasuggestions) influence responsiveness to suggestions and the strength of the association between two hypnotizability scales and (b) how hypnotizability relates to absorption and empathy. In Experiment 1, nonclinical participants (N = 152 women) were administered the Modified Tellegen Absorption Scale (MODTAS), Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), Hypnotic Induction Profile (HIP), and Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale, Form C (SHSS:C). In Experiment 2, nonclinical participants (N = 188; 105 women and 83 men) were administered the MODTAS, IRI, and Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form A (HGSHS:A). The induction scores of the HIP (HIP-IND) and the SHSS:C scores showed a significantly stronger correlation when the HIP was introduced to the participants after hypnosis metasuggestion (HIP-H-IND) than after imagination metasuggestion (HIP-I-IND). Metasuggestion was a moderator of the association between HIP-IND and SHSS:C scores. Participants with low and medium, but not with high, hypnotizability levels on the SHSS:C showed significantly higher scores on the HIP-I-IND than on the HIP-H-IND. The strong correlations between the SHSS:C, HIP-H-IND, and HIP eye-roll (HIP-ER) scores indicate that both the HIP-H-IND and HIP-ER are robust measures of hypnotizability. Absorption and empathy were not significantly associated with hypnotizability. Women were more hypnotizable than men, as assessed by the HGSHS:A. The clinical relevance of metasuggestions, intended to increase responsiveness to suggestions, is discussed as a strategy to improve treatment outcomes.

尽管催眠性表现出较高的跨时间和跨测试一致性，但尚不清楚（a）催眠程序的不同前言（元暗示）如何影响对建议的响应性以及两个催眠性量表之间的关联强度，以及（b）催眠性如何与吸收和移情有关。在实验1中，非临床参与者（N = 152名女性）接受改良的Telegen吸收量表（MODTAS），人际反应性指数（IRI），催眠诱导曲线（HIP）和Stanford催眠易感量表，表格C（SHSS：C） 。在实验2中，非临床参与者（N= 188; 105名女性和83名男性）接受了MODTAS，IRI和哈佛大学催眠药量表A型（HGSHS：A）的管理。当HIP引入催眠暗示（HIP-H-IND）的参与者时，HIP的诱导分数（HIP-IND）和SHSS：C分数显示出比想象的暗示（HIP-I-IND）显着更强的相关性。 ）。元提示是HIP-IND与SHSS：C得分之间关联的主持人。在SHSS：C上具有低和中等但催眠水平不高的参与者在HIP-I-IND上的得分明显高于在HIP-H-IND上的得分。SHSS：C，HIP-H-IND和HIP视线得分（HIP-ER）得分之间的强相关性表明，HIP-H-IND和HIP-ER都是催眠性的可靠指标。吸收和移情与催眠作用没有显着相关。根据HGSHS：A的评估，女性比男性更容易催眠。旨在提高对建议的反应性的元暗示的临床相关性已作为改善治疗结果的策略进行了讨论。
