Q1
In a study of altered states, 32 participants listened to a standardized hypnosis audio session focused on pain reduction before completing a cold pressor task (hand in cold water). Compared with a relaxation-only control group, the hypnosis group reported lower pain intensity but showed similar hand-withdrawal times. Participants in the hypnosis group also described feeling as if the discomfort was “far away” or “not about me.” Which of the following best explains the changes observed in the study, consistent with hypnosis and consciousness?
