Detailed explanation-1: -One of the first theories of hypnosis was proposed by Ernest Hilgard in the 1950s. His theory has become known as the Divided Consciousness Theory of hypnosis. It states that hypnosis produces a split in consciousness such that one aspect of consciousness is unaware of what other parts of consciousness are doing.
Detailed explanation-2: -Introduction to Psychology I The role-playing theory of hypnosis states that the person nonconsciously takes the role of a hypnotized individual when they are actually not in a hypnotized state.
Detailed explanation-3: -Taking a different approach to explain hypnosis, the social-cognitive theory of hypnosis sees people in hypnotic states as performing the social role of a hypnotized person. As you will learn when you study social roles, people’s behavior can be shaped by their expectations of how they should act in a given situation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hypnosis is a normal state in which the hypnotized person behaves the way he or she believes that a hypnotized person should behave.
