Abstract

A positive correlation of .70 ( p = .001) was found between a measure of the presence of EEG alpha rhythms during a resting condition and separately gathered scores of hypnotic susceptibility for a sample of 21 Ss. The relationship was similar in the 10 males and the 11 females who comprised the total sample. The finding replicates and extends a similar study by London, Hart, and Leibovitz (1968).
