Question 1 (1 point)
Shoresh suggests that Ted cluck like a chicken during the hypnosis not because he is
experiencing an altered state of consciousness but because he is playing the role of a
hypnotized person. This is a good example of the theory of hypnotism.

1. cognitive-behavioral
2. dissociative
3. hypnotic mediation
4. social-cognitive

In this scenario, Ted’s behavior can be explained by the social-cognitive theory of hypnotism, which posits that people can perform actions based on social cues and expectations rather than purely altered states of consciousness. Essentially, Ted is adopting the role of a hypnotized person and behaving accordingly, highlighting how social and environmental factors influence behavior.

This theory emphasizes that individuals are active participants in the hypnosis process, suggesting that they might be more focused on fulfilling the expectations of the hypnotist and the context of the situation rather than being overtly controlled by the hypnotic state itself. It’s a fascinating blend of psychology and performance!
