ABSTRACT

One of the difficulties of evaluating hypnotizability in Chile is the limited existence of validated instruments. In this study, the Mexican version of Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale, Form C, was semantically adapted and validated. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in 102 Chilean university students. The content validation was performed by 3 experts; the internal consistency was evaluated with KR-20. The difficulty of the items was measured with a difficulty index. The majority of the students were classified with high hypnotizability. The mean score obtained was 7.41 (SD = 1.84). The internal consistency was acceptable (KR-20 = 0.73). The item with the least difficulty was arm lowering, whereas the auditory hallucination was the item with the greatest difficulty. The survey showed metric properties to be considered as a valid and reliable instrument to measure the level of hypnotizability in the Chilean population.

摘要

在智利评估催眠性的困难之一是经过验证的工具有限。在这项研究中，墨西哥版本的斯坦福催眠易感性量表 C 型在语义上进行了调整和验证。对 102 名智利大学生进行了描述性横断面研究。内容验证由3位专家进行；内部一致性用 KR-20 评估。题目的难度是用难度指数来衡量的。大多数学生被归类为高度催眠。获得的平均分数为 7.41 ( SD = 1.84）。内部一致性是可以接受的（KR-20 = 0.73）。难度最小的项目是手臂降低，而幻听是难度最大的项目。调查显示，公制属性被认为是衡量智利人口催眠水平的有效且可靠的工具。
