Question

(Q011) Brandon got hypnotized at a student life activity as part of a performance. The crowd laughed as Brandon was told by the hypnotist to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in Martian. Afterward, his friends speculated that Brandon was not faking hypnosis but that he was behaving as he expected hypnotized people to behave. This represents the __________ theory of hypnosis.

Answer 1

Sociocognitive

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypnosis can be defined as a physiological stage in which the individual is in a sleep like state. The individuals involved are still able to hear and respond to things around them.

Hypnosis can be compared to daydreaming. Hypnosis can be used to treat different conditions such as anxiety and depression. It can be carried out by a hypnotist who uses different verbal repetitions and mental images.

Sociocognitive theory of hypnosis suggests that individuals who are in the state of hypnosis are not changed in any way, they are only doing what the therapist requires them to do.
