Individual differences in hypnotizability and effectiveness of hypnosis or biofeedback (1982) · International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis · doi
The study identifies a gap in the understanding of the relationship between hypnotizability and ability to modify physiological responses using biofeedback or hypnosis. The study notes that previous research has yielded inconsistent results regarding the relationship between hypnotizability and ability to alter physiological processes.

Keywords: study identifies gap understanding relationship between hypnotizability ability
Inadvertent termination of hypnosis with hypnotized and simulating subjects (1966) · International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis · doi
The study identifies a gap in the understanding of hypnosis and its response to sudden interruptions. The literature lacks studies examining the differences between hypnotized and simulating subjects. The current study aims to address this gap by examining the response to a simulated power failure.

Inadvertent termination of hypnosis with hypnotized and simulating subjects (1966) · International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis · doi
The study faced challenges in distinguishing between hypnotized and simulating subjects. The experiment required careful consideration of the experimental design and subject selection. The study had to address the limitations of the small sample size and lack of physiological data.

Inadvertent termination of hypnosis with hypnotized and simulating subjects (1966) · International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis · doi
Future studies should investigate the use of physiological data to support observations. The study suggests the need for further research on the differences between hypnotized and simulating subjects. Future experiments should consider the use of larger samples and more diverse subject populations.

“Credulous” and “sceptical” views of hypnotic phenomena: A review of certain evidence and methodology (1960) · International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis · doi
Further research is needed to develop more effective hypnosis techniques. More studies are needed to investigate the effects of hypnosis on time perception, hallucinations, and regression. Research should focus on developing proper controls and comparison with normal waking behavior.
