Question

Nikki is hypnotized. "you are now a chimpanzee," the hypnotist says. nikki hops around the stage, swinging from chair to chair and making monkey-like calls. which change typical of hypnosis is nikki exhibiting?

Answer 1

The answer is: Increased role taking

In hypnosis, increased role taking refers to a set of behaviors and actions that commonly do not exist if we are not under a hypnotic condition.

If the hypnotic suggest that we are an animals just like what being done to Nikki, we can start to subconsciously adopt the behaviors and actions that we know to be common among those animals. This is why Nikki is hopping around and making monkey-like calls.
