ABSTRACT
Belief in the paranormal (e.g., spirits, extrasensory perception, fortune telling, extraterrestrials) is common. Extraordinary and magical beliefs have been linked with hypnotizability. A total of 167 undergraduates completed measures of paranormal and magical beliefs, locus of control, absorption, fantasy proneness, expectancy about being hypnotized, and the God Locus of Health Control scale (GLHC) and were hypnotized with the HGSHSA. High and medium hypnotizable participants more strongly agreed with statements reflecting paranormal and magical beliefs and the assertion that God directly controls their health, relative to those less responsive to hypnosis. Using stepwise regression, we found that expectations about hypnosis along with scores on the GLHC scale accounted for 26% and 30% of the variance in behavioral and subjective scores on the HGSHSA, respectively. The authors discuss paranormal beliefs and the link between the GLHC and hypnotizability.
