title: EXPERIMENTER BIAS IN HYPNOTIST PERFORMANCE.
abstract: Eight hypnotist-experimenters administered a standardized suggestibility test to subjects under two separate experimental conditions. The experimenters understood the problem of experimenter bias, knew that they were being checked, and felt that they had treated both groups alike, yet judges were able to tell under which condition the subjects were tested by listening to the performances of the experimenters.
