Abstract

Abstract Early studies suggested that the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form A (HGSHS:A), of Shor and E. Orne (1962), might have two limitations. Data are presented in support of these indications. The HGSHS: A may be insufficiently valid with male Ss, and may nominate quite different samples of hypnotically susceptible Ss and simulators than individually-administered forms of the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scales (Weitzenhoffer & Hilgard, 1959, 1962). The prudence of Orne's (1971) proposed double-check on S-selection is thus supported.
