The effect of translation and sex on hypnotizability testing
(2007) In Contemporary Hypnosis 24(4). p.154-160- Abstract
- We compared hypnotizability between two samples from different Universities in Sweden. One test was administered in Swedish (University of Skövde) using a translated Swedish version of the HGSHS:A (Bergman, Trenter, & Kallio, 2003).

The results suggest that administering the HGSHS:A in English to Swedish University students may only slightly reduce hypnotizability scores. Because the HGSHS:A was designed to be used for the initial screening of hypnotic suggestibility, for most practical purposes the original version seems a valid choice among... (More)

The data also support some recent findings about females exhibiting higher objective and subjective hypnotizability scores than male volunteers. (Less)
