“…In fact, the correlation between measures of hypnotic suggestibility and dissociation vanishes to near zero when the measures are administered in separate testing contexts (Green, Kvaal, Lynn, Mare, & Sandberg, 1991;Oakman, Woody, & Bowers, 1996;Silva & Kirsch, 1992). Very small correlations (from .04 to .14) between dissociation and hypnotic responsiveness have been reported when both variables are assessed in large samples in the same research context (Faith & Ray, 1994;Nadon, Hoyt, Register, & Kihlstrom, 1991). Similarly, hypnotic responsiveness is not correlated with behaviors like divided attention, selective attention, or incidental learning, which could be interpreted as examples of dissociation in nonhypnotic contexts (Stava & Jaffa, 1988).…”
