social influence |
The claim (Lynn et al 1990) that hypnotic phenomena are regulated by normal conscious processes is associated with the theory that hypnosis reflects the power of |
Orne and Evans(1965) discovered that unhypnotized subjects performed the same dangerous acts as hypnotized subjects. This finding is most consistent with the theory that hypnosis involves |
Conscious role-playing |
Ernest Hilgard (1986) believed hypnosis involves social influence and a split in consciousness in which some thoughts occur simultaneously with and yet separately from other thoughts is called |

all of these: extraversion, neuroticism, temperament |
Environmental influences on personality traits are most clearly highlighted by comparing |
