The dissociation theory of hypnosis claims that hypnosis results in individuals voluntarily splitting their consciousness into the conscious and subconscious mind. The subconscious mind which is "tuned in" to the hypnotist is non-thinking and accepts suggestions given by the hypnotist. Being in a dissociative state means being in an altered state of mind.

Answer:

Dissociative

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypnosis is a mental state or group of attitudes that are generated through hypnotism. It usually consists of a series of instructions and suggestions previously made.

The theory of dissociation speaks of the separation of some components of consciousness. It is believed that in this theory hypnosis is the result of dissociation: the areas of control of the behavior of the person are separated from ordinary behavior. Here, hypnosis takes control away from the conscious mind and the person responds autonomously and reflexively.
