Developing the Sense of Agency Rating Scale (SOARS): An empirical measure of agency disruption in hypnosis.

Highlights: [•] We developed a new, psychometric measure of agency: the Sense of Agency Rating Scale. [•] We identified two components of sense of agency: Involuntariness and Effortlessness. [•] SOARS scores correlate with hypnotisability and passing hypnotic items of different types. [•] The SOARS offers an empirical method for indexing agency in a range of contexts.
