This article details a study investigating pseudomemory effects and their relationship to level of susceptibility to hypnosis and state instruction. The study has compared results for waking and hypnotic instruction but found no evidence for any distinctive hypnotic outcomes. One hundred sixty-eight undergraduate students, including 121 female and 47 male, have participated in the study. Four videotapes depicting perceptibly different versions of a bank robbery were used as the stimulus material. Two measures of imagery ability, the Betts Questionnaire of Mental Imagery and the Gordon Test of Visual Imagery Control, and one measure of absorption were used as filler activities for the waking group. This was to equate for time spent by the hypnotic subjects in hypnotic induction and deinduction. All subjects at the outset were told whether they would be hypnotized and were given an explanation of the study. Results of this study have strongly supported the hypothesis that a range of factors, including contextual, skill, and state instruction valuables, are associated with occurrence of pseudomemory report.
