Spanish norms for the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form A

The results of administering the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form A (HGSHS:A) of Shor and E. Orne (1962) to a Spanish sample are on the whole consistent with those results obtained in other normative studies, especially Bongartz's work with a German sample, and they confirm HGSHS:A's usefulness in non-Anglophone countries. The Spanish HGSHS:A's reliability and validity remain within the limits reported for other locales, but there are certain discrepancies with respect to the difficulty of two HGSHS:A items.
