Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of having personal experience and information about hypnosis over the beliefs and attitudes toward hypnosis, using a sample of students from Spain, United States, Portugal and Romania. The factor structure of the Revised Valencia Scale of Attitudes and Beliefs toward Hypnosis-Client Version, as well as its psychometric properties are also analyzed. An exploratory factor analysis of the scale was conducted and an 8-factor model solution similar to the one found in other versions of this scale was obtained: Help, Personal Control, Magical Solution, Interest, Collaboration, Fear, Memory/Trance and Marginal. Results also indicated that participants who had previously experienced hypnosis and/or based their knowledge of hypnosis on scientific sources scored, in general, higher in factors indicating positive attitudes and correct beliefs about hypnosis.

关于催眠的态度和信念:一项多元文化研究

本研究的目的是检验个人经历和催眠信息对催眠信念和态度的影响，使用来自西班牙，美国，葡萄牙和罗马尼亚的学生样本。本文还分析了修订版瓦伦西亚催眠态度信念量表的因素结构及其心理测量学特征。对量表进行探索性因子分析，得出与其他版本的量表相似的8因素模型解:帮助、个人控制、神奇解决方案、兴趣、协作、恐惧、记忆/恍惚和边缘。结果还表明，先前经历过催眠和/或基于科学来源的催眠知识的参与者在表明对催眠的积极态度和正确信念的因素中得分较高。版权所有©2008英国实验学会;临床催眠。John Wiley &出版;儿子,有限公司
