“…The perceived authority of the H may influence the subjects' emotional involvement in the hypnosis, even in standard laboratory hypnosis sessions (Bányai, Varga, & Gősi-Greguss, 2001). In an earlier phase of the present study it was demonstrated that female Hs evoked more positive and less negative emotions in their subjects (although the behavioral hypnotizability scores did not differ); still, there was a small but significant gender interaction (gender of the S × gender of the H) in HGSHS:A observer-scores (Költő, 2012). Hypnotists seem to be more hypnotizable than the general population (Gősi- Greguss, Bányai, & Varga, 1996), although their hypnotizability is not related to the perceived harmony of their interaction as either they or their Ss experience it in hypnosis (Varga, Józsa, Bányai, & Gősi-Greguss, 2012).…”
