Answer:

social-cognitive

Step-by-step explanation:

Social-cognitive theory of hypnosis argues that people that the effortless or voluntary experience of people who are hypnotized are as a result of their motivated tendencies to interpret hypnotism; in other words, it argues that the people semi-consciously decide to respond to hypnotic suggestions. Note that this doesn't mean the theory totally agrees that the people are faking the experience or responding involuntarily to the hypnotic suggestions.
