An Examination of the Perceptual Asymmetries of Depressed Persons as Mediated by Hypnosis

This type of global processing has been manipulated through the use of hypnosis by Crawford and Allen (1983). In the current study, a 3 x 2 ANCOVA design allowed the comparison of three groups of subjects on their performance on a perceptual task measuring global perception. The task chosen was designe… more
