“…Similarly, highly suggestible individuals reliably experience greater spontaneous imagery in response to an induction (Pekala & Kumar, 2007) and imaginative involvement and absorption during stimulus exposure (e.g., (Maxwell, Lynn, & Condon, 2015). Multiple studies also suggest an association between suggestibility and the capacity to become immersed in a dramatic role (Panero, Goldstein, Rosenberg, Hughes, & Winner, 2016;Sarbin & Lim, 1963).…”

Hypnosis involves the use of verbal suggestion to modulate behaviour and experience. Hypnosis and imagination have long been associated and the view that hypnotic suggestion effects changes in experience through imagination is a persistent one. In this review, we first present a brief overview of hypnosis and then turn to its potential relationship to imagery and imagination. We consider whether individual differences in imagination may relate to hypnotic suggestibility and the extent to which imagery is recruited during response to hypnotic suggestions in psychological and neuroimaging studies. Finally, we briefly consider the roles of imagery and suggestion in clinical applications of hypnosis. We conclude that whilst hypnotic suggestibility may relate to variability in imagination, hypnotic suggestion and voluntary forms of imagery are subserved by dissimilar neurocognitive mechanisms.

“…In this study, we administered trait measures of habitual emotion regulation tendencies, psychopathy, psychological sensitivity, hardiness, depressive symptoms, and empathy to participants who also made reports of their present emotional experiences immediately at outset of the study. Because of its positive relationship to momentary negative affect (e.g., Maxwell, Lynn, & Condon, 2015), we included a measure of state depersonalization. We hypothesized that differences in participants' self-reported habitual emotion regulation tendencies (e.g., differences in tendencies to use cognitive reappraisal or expressive suppression) would predict differences in participants' momentary emotional and dissociative states.…”

A sizable literature has yet to establish a reliable empirical connection between the trait conceptualization of emotion regulation as habitual, cross-situation emotion regulation tendencies and its state conceptualization as real-time, fluid, momentary emotion–situation interactivity and dependency. Thus, an open question remains: Do self-reported differences in tendencies to use one or another emotion regulation strategy predict self-reported, momentary emotional states and experiences, and are differences in these emotional states consistent with differences in emotional reactivity observed in previous studies among individuals in experimental paradigms asked to make real-time use of the emotion regulation strategies represented by these trait measures? If trait measures of emotion regulation validly reflect actual uses of particular strategies (e.g., expressive suppression and cognitive reappraisal), then these measures should predict individual differences in momentary emotions and experiences associated with habitual use of these strategies. Examining a sample of 177 participants, we found that differential endorsements of habitual strategy use on these measures were associated with individual differences in self-reported momentary emotion and experience that correspond to well-documented differences in reactivity reported among individuals instructed to apply these strategies in experimental settings. Limitations of these findings and suggestions for future directions are discussed.

“…Suggestibility has been closely associated with dissociation (Giesbrecht, Lynn, Lilienfeld, & Merckelbach, 2008), gaining special relevance in the forensic (Chae, Goodman, Eisen, & Qin, 2011) and clinical fields (Woody & Browers, 1994). Empirically, the results are contradictory, finding results for (Marcusson-Clavertz, Terhune, & Cardeña, 2012) and against (Maxwell, Lynn, & Condon, 2015). To explain this discrepancy, it is hypothesized that the relationship between dissociation and suggestibility would be mediated by absorption and fantasy (Dienes et al, 2009).…”

Psychological characteristics of dissociation in general population

et al. 2017

Dissociation is defined as the separation of those processes that should be accessible, considering that both somatoform and conversion symptoms may be understood as dissociative. In recent decades, psychological variables have been related to dissociation, such as suggestibility, fantasy, alexithymia, abnormal emotional processes, and also a particular personality profile. The aim of this paper is to study the profile associated with psychoform and somatoform dissociation. The sample consisted of 355 participants. University students employed the snowball sampling. The following instruments were used: the Dissociative Experiences Scale-II (DES-II), the Questionnaire Somatoform Dissociation (SDQ-20), the Inventory Suggestibility (IS), the Alexithymia Scale Toronto (TAS-20), the Scale Difficulties in Emotion Regulation (DERS), the revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI), and some ad hoc questions to evaluate sleeprelated experiences. The results indicated that high dissociators showed higher scores on suggestibility, alexithymia, sleep-related experiences, neuroticism, openness to experience, and lower conscientiousness than low dissociators, the results being similar to those obtained by high somatizers. As a conclusion, the profile found in both types of dissociation indicated their existing relationship, and pointed out possible lines of future research and treatment.
