Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hypnosis is a trance-like mental state in which people experience increased attention, concentration, and suggestibility. While hypnosis is often described as a sleep-like state, it is better expressed as a state of focused attention, heightened suggestibility, and vivid fantasies.

Detailed explanation-2: -A suggestion given to a hypnotized S that he will, after trance has terminated, carry out a certain behavior in response to a specified cue is referred to as posthypnotic suggestion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hypnotic induction involves focusing of attention and imaginative involvement to the point where what is being imagined feels real. By the use and acceptance of suggestions, the clinician and patient construct a hypnotic reality.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
