Classical Test Theory and Item Response Theory for Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility with African American College Students<\/strong>

\nHypnotizability is not an all-or-nothing construct; rather, it is an individual\u2019s reactions
\nto being hypnotized, and this may fall on a continuum (1). In addition, even thought
\nhypnotizability is relatively stable, it is also influenced by the client\u2019s rapport with the
\nhypnotherapist, the client\u2019s expectations and beliefs, and other social or psychological
\nfactors (2). The purpose of this project focused on assessing hypnotizability by using the
\nHGSH:A with African American college students. By analyzing Harvard Group Scale of
\nHypnotic Susceptibility, Form A (HGSHS:A) by both Classical Test Theory and Item Response
\nTheory, results from both measurement models were consistent. Both measurement
\nmodels indicated that items 2 (eye closure) and 7 (moving hand together) were good items,
\nand item 9 (experiencing of a fly) and 11 (post-hypnotic suggestion) were bad items for
\nthis African American College student sample. Based on the eleven variables of HGSHS:A,
\nthrough principal components analysis, there were three factors: direct suggestion, motor
\nchallenge, and perceptual cognitive. However, the reliability of this study was low which
\nmay due to African American college students appear to have expectancies for hypnotic
\nresponding to was to occur without using techniques to assist responding such as imagining
\nand thinking along with suggestions.
