- Abstract
The article presents a study on the impact of hypnotic experience and hypnotic depth on jurors' decisions concerning the defence of hypnotic automatism. For the study, researchers conducted two experiments in which participants were provided with a standard hypnotic induction procedure, transcripts of a criminal trial concerning hypnosis and a questionnaire in order to measure attitudes towards hypnosis and judgments of guilt and innocence. They found that individuals with credulous attitudes towards hypnosis were more likely to support the automatism defence.
