The sociocognitive theory of hypnosis posits that individuals who are highly suggestible are simply responding to waking imaginative suggestions.
Explanation:
According to the sociocognitive theory, the state of hypnosis is merely a state in which the individual who is said to have been hypnotized is imagining the suggestions given to him with utter concentration.
The theory proposes that the process of hypnotism is not efficient enough to alter the pattern of consciousness or change it to a directable mode.
