Abstract
Abstract Data pertaining to early and mid-childhood socialization experiences available from a sample of children and their mothers as studied earlier by Sears, Maccoby, Levin, and other members of the Laboratory for Human Development at Harvard (Sears, Maccoby, & Levin, 1957; Maccoby, 1961; Sears, 1961; Grinder, 1962) were related to hypnotizability scores and scores of susceptibility to naturally occurring hypnotic-like experiences for a part of the same sample when the children reached late adolescence. As hypothesized by J. R. Hilgard and E. R. Hilgard (1962) after retrospective interviewing with college-age hypnotic Ss, the present study, using a longitudinal method of investigation, indicated some relationship between firm parental discipline in childhood and subsequent susceptibility to hypnosis and hypnotic-like experiences in adolescence. Correlations, however, were low and the overall yield of significant data generated by this study wm judged to be meager. This was particularly true of hypnotizability scores in relation to the other variables available for analysis.
