  • Effects of hypnotic, placebo, and salicylic acid treatments on wart regression

    Nicholas P Spanos, V Williams et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1990

    Subjects with warts on their hands and/or feet were randomly assigned to a hypnotic suggestion, topical salicylic acid, placebo, or no treatment control condition. Subjects in the three treated groups developed equivalent expectations of treatment success. Nevertheless, at the six-week follow-up interval only the hypnotic subjects had lost significantly more warts than the no treatment controls. Theoretical implications are discussed

    Hans P de Groot, Maxwell I Gwynn et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1988Cited by: 3References: 3

    Council, Kirsch, and Hafner (1986) obtained empirical support for the hypothesis that significant correlations between questionnaire measures of absorption and hypnotic susceptibility are an artifact of subjects' beliefs about their own hypnotizability. We tested this hypothesis in a two-session experiment. During Session 1, subjects completed questionnaire measures of absorption, mystical experience, daydreaming frequency, and paranormal beliefs…

  • Trance logic as incomplete responding

    Nicholas P Spanos, Hans P de Groot et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1987

    Two experiments tested predictions derived from the logical incongruity and differential demands hypotheses of trance logic responding. In Experiment 1, subjects that were highly susceptible to hypnosis showed higher levels of responding on three trance logic indexes (i.e., transparent hallucinating, duality, incongruous writing in age regression) than did subjects low in susceptibilit y to hypnosis who were instructed to fake hypnosis (i.e., sim…

  • The Carleton University Responsiveness to Suggestion Scale

    Open AccessNicholas P Spanos, Pamela N Cobb et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1984

    The Carleton University Responsiveness to Suggestion Scale (CURSS) was individually administered to 59 subjects on two occasions. All three CURSS suggestibility dimensions remained stable across sessions. In addition, experimenter's and subjects' self-ratings of overt response to test suggestions were highly correlated. Amnesia, scored as a continuous variable, also remained stable across sessions

  • Suffering for science

    Nicholas P Spanos, David C Hodgins et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1984References: 2

    In two experiments subjects rated their pain during baseline trials of cold pressor and finger pressure pain. After various instructional treatments, they were posttested with these same stimuli. As in previous studies, we found in both experiments that coping suggestions significantly reduced reported pain. Experiment 1, however, demonstrated that subjects often refrained from using available cognitive coping strategies to reduce pain unless the…
