Abstract

The Valencia Scale, client version (VSABTH-C, Capafons et al. 2004, 2015) is currently one of the most empirically-based scales assessing attitudes and beliefs toward hypnosis. This study aims to adapt the online VSABTH-C to a French sample and to determine its psychometric properties (Franquelo et al. 2020). Moreover, it is well-known that the efficiency of the clinical hypnotic process hinges on social and cognitive factors. Surprisingly, their influence on attitudes/beliefs toward hypnosis has not yet been examined. Therefore, we also investigated the role of personality dimensions, social desirability, and imagery abilities on attitudes/beliefs measured with the VSABTH-C. Our findings showed that the psychometric properties and the structural validation of the French version of the VSABTH-C form a valid measure essential for French-speaking clinicians as well as researchers. In addition, social desirability and personality dimensions did not bias hypnosis scale responses, confirming its robustness. High imagery abilities were positively correlated with positive beliefs/attitudes, suggesting that imagery may be a good predictor of hypnotic attitudes.
