This study investigates how perceptions and attitudes towards hypnosis could affect its effectiveness in relieving stress. Despite the growing acceptance of hypnosis as a psychological intervention tool, misconceptions surrounding hypnosis continue to hinder its application. A total of 52 participants were randomly selected and invited to experience a 21-minute hypnotic session, during which they engaged in tasks addressing common myths about hypnosis. Participants completed the Attitudes Towards Hypnosis Questionnaire and self-rated their immediate stress levels and emotional states before and after the session. Statistical analysis revealed a significant reduction in self-rated stress levels, with an average decrease from 3.75 to 2.6 (p < 0.01). Additionally, participants exhibited improved attitudes towards hypnosis, with the average score on the Attitudes Towards Hypnosis Questionnaire increasing from 60.48 to 65.69 (p < 0.01). Age difference is identified with younger participants demonstrated a greater improvement in stress relief when comparing to older counterparts. These findings suggest that hypnosis could effectively reduce stress and enhance emotional well-being, while challenging the prevalent misconceptions.
