The Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form A (HGSHS:A), is widely used as a measure of suggestibility to screen participants for research purposes. To date, there have been a number of normative studies of the HGSHS:A, the majority of which originate from Western countries. The outcomes of these Western studies are summarized, and variations in methodologies are described and discussed. Also reported are the psychometric properties of the HGSHS:A in a large contemporary United Kingdom (UK) sample. Overall, these UK results are consistent with the earlier Western norms studies in terms of response distribution and item difficulty, with only minor differences. The continued use of HGSHS:A as a screening procedure is supported, particularly if corrected for response subjectivity/involuntariness and with revised amnesia scoring. The HGSHS:A is also important as a potential measure of the broader trait of direct verbal suggestibility.

催眠易感性的大规模群体的英国规范，表A。

哈佛大学催眠药敏感性表A型（HGSHS：A）被广泛用作对参与者进行筛选以进行研究的建议性度量。迄今为止，已有许多有关HGSHS：A的规范研究，其中大多数来自西方国家。总结了这些西方研究的成果，并描述和讨论了方法的变化。还报告了HGSHS：A在当代英国（UK）的大型样本中的心理测量特性。总体而言，这些英国的结果在答复分布和项目难度方面与早期的西方规范研究一致，只有很小的差异。支持继续使用HGSHS：A作为筛查程序，特别是如果对反应的主观性/非自愿性进行了校正并采用了健忘症评分进行了校正。
