Аннотация:Until now, there has been an acute shortage of valid and reliable tools
in Russia for making an accurate and highly differentiable assessment
of hypnotizability. However, numerous studies confirm the high efficiency,
reliability, and accuracy of the Elkins Hypnotizability Scale
(EHS), allowing it to claim the title of the new gold standard for
assessing hypnotizability. In the present study, the original Englishlanguage
version of the EHS was translated into Russian. One hundred
and five volunteers from Moscow (42% male; 58% female), aged 19 to
44, underwent a hypnotizability assessment procedure according to
the EHS protocol. The Russian version of the EHS, like the original,
requires an average of 28 minutes to administer and score by a trained
assessor. The results showed that the Russian version of the EHS has
good internal consistency and does not contain unnecessary elements.
Alpha Cronbach values (0.76), and the item-total correlations
(rs = 0.44–0.64) are satisfactory.
