Dutch norms for the Rasch version of the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale, Form C

Abstract

The psychometric structure of the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale, Form C was recently tested in a Rasch analysis. After omission of two items the scale fulfi lls the requirements of the Rasch model. The Rasch model justifi es the use of a sum score as a measure for a one-dimensional latent trait. It is argued that the new version enables a more reliable measurement of hypnotic susceptibility. In this study Dutch norms for the Rasch version of the SHSS-C Form C are presented.
