Abstract
The 16 Ss in the control and experimental groups were female college-freshman volunteers 18 to 22 years old. It was hypothesized that a brief period of sensory restriction would enhance hypnotizability in the experimental group. The differences between the groups were statistically significant in the hypothesized direction. Theoretical implications for behavior modification and their possible applicability to psychotherapy are discussed.Keywords
