Abstract
The current study was geared towards demonstrating the possibility of modifying the
attitudes of Chinese people towards hypnosis and being hypnotised through a measure of
mental imagery ability. Ninety experimental and 30 control subjects who had not received
any forms of hypnosis previously were included. Both groups were required to complete the
same set of inventories, preceding and following the intervention, in which the experimental
group received an imagery test (the Creative Imagination Scale). The present findings
showed that the experience of imaginative suggestions had a positive impact on the subjects’
attitudes, along with changes in beliefs about hypnosis and its effects.
