Social-Cognitive Theory of Hypnosis
An alternative perspective on hypnosis, the social-cognitive theory, suggests that individuals in a hypnotic state are actively performing the social role of a 'hypnotized person.' According to this view, their behavior is not a product of an altered or dissociated state of consciousness, but rather a fulfillment of the social expectations associated with that role, shaped by their understanding of how they should act in the situation.
