EXPERIENTIAL SCORING FOR THE WATERLOO-STANFORD GROUP-C SCALE

A scale is presented that assesses subjective experiences associated w ith the test suggestions contained in the Waterloo-Stanford Group C sc ale (WSGC), a group adaptation of the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale: Form (SHSS:C). This scale, along with the standard behavioral scoring system of the WSGC, was given to 926 students at the Universit y of Connecticut. Normative data from this sample indicate that the ex periential scoring scale is both reliable and valid as a measure of su ggestibility. It is suggested that it may be useful to supplement beha vioral scoring with experiential scoring when the WSGC is used.
