Impulsivity, self-control, and hypnotic suggestibility.
Consciousness and Cognition Volume 22, Issue 2, June 2013, Pages 637–653
Abstract
Hypnotic responding might be due to attenuated frontal lobe functioning after the hypnotic induction. Little is known about whether personality traits linked with frontal functioning are associated with responsiveness to hypnotic suggestions. We assessed whether hypnotic suggestibility is related to the traits of self-control and impulsivity in 154 participants who completed the Brief Self-Control Scale, the Self-Regulation Scale, the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11), and the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility (HGSHS:A). BIS-11 non-planning impulsivity correlated positively with HGSHS:A (Bonferroni-corrected). Furthermore, in the best model emerging from a stepwise multiple regression, both non-planning impulsivity and self-control positively predicted hypnotic suggestibility, and there was an interaction of BIS-11 motor impulsivity with gender. For men only, motor impulsivity tended to predict hypnotic suggestibility. Hypnotic suggestibility is associated with personality traits linked with frontal functioning, and hypnotic responding in men and women might differ.

Psychoneuroimmunologie
Eigentlich unbeabsichtigt gelang es dem Neuropsychologen Robert Ader 1975 die erste konditionierte Reaktion des Immunsystems nachzuweisen. Dies war die Geburtsstunde der PsychoNeuroImmunologie (PNI), welche sich mit den Interaktionen des Immunsystems, Zentralnervensystem, Hormonsystem und Umwelt beschäftigt. Aus den bislang vorliegenden Ergebnissen lassen sich Konsequenzen für die hypnotherapeutische Behandlung immunologisch herausgeforderter Patienten ableiten.
