催眠和大量使用智能手机的特点都是全神贯注的状态，在这种状态下，人们会忘记时间并自动对刺激做出反应。在这项预先注册的研究中，我们测试了智能手机成瘾与催眠能力之间是否存在关系：一个人在催眠状态下遵循建议的倾向。超过11场公开讲座，我们催眠了641名学生年龄参与者；催眠结束后，参与者完成了智能手机成瘾量表（简短版）。催眠能力与智能手机成瘾之间存在正相关关系（ r = .17, 95% CI [.09, .24], p < .001），其大小与催眠能力的标准预测因子相似。这种相关性很小，但不太可能是虚假的：11 个样本中有 10 个样本（其中两个来自心理学课程）呈阳性，并且在几个月后的随访中持续存在。这个加拿大样本的成瘾分数出乎意料地高（中号= 31.41）与其他国家相比。我们假设，专注于、时间扭曲和自动使用智能手机可能会促进更健康的手机习惯。

Hypnotised by Your Phone? Smartphone Addiction Correlates With Hypnotisability.

Hypnosis and heavy smartphone use are both characterised by absorbed states in which one loses track of time and responds automatically to stimuli. In this pre-registered study, we tested whether there was a relationship between smartphone addiction and hypnotisability: one’s tendency to follow suggestions under hypnosis. Over 11 public lectures, we hypnotised 641 student-aged participants; after the hypnosis session, participants completed the Smartphone Addiction Scale (Short Version). There was a positive correlation between hypnotisability and smartphone addiction (r = .17, 95% CI [.09, .24], p < .001) with a magnitude similar to standard predictors of hypnotisability. This correlation was small but unlikely spurious: it was positive in 10 of the 11 samples (including two from psychology courses) and persisted in a follow-up several months later. The addiction scores in this Canadian sample were unexpectedly high (M = 31.41) compared to other countries. We hypothesise that targeting the absorbed, time-distorted, and automatic use of smartphones may promote healthier phone habits.
