Is it difficult to get respondents for a hypnosis research project?
Hypnosis is very well-known in todays culture. In every major city in the country there are hundreds of hypnotists who provide stop-smoking and weight-loss clinics for the public. Hypnosis is recognized by the American Medical Association as a therapeutic technique and doctors and dentists refer their patients to hypnotists for a wide variety of treatments including pain-reduction and psychological counseling. Because of the publics awareness it is relatively easy to find respondents who are interested in participating in Hypnosis Focus Groups or one-on-ones.
