Purpose: Color preferences vary
among normal individuals and psychiatric patients, and this might be related to
their different levels of hypnotic susceptibility. We hypothesized that
individuals with higher hypnotic susceptibility prefer more arousing colors
such as red.
Patients and methods: Out of 440 participants, we selected 70 with higher
(HIGH) and 66 with lower (LOW) hypnotic susceptibilities, and asked them to
undergo the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale: Form C (SHSSC) test, then
to order their preferences of 11 colors.
Results: The HIGH group preferred red more and scored
higher on the total SHSSC. The preference order of black was negatively predicted
by the SHSSC Taste hallucination but positively by Arm rigidity, and the
preference of yellow was positively predicted by Posthypnotic amnesia and Taste
hallucination in the HIGH group.
Conclusion: The red preference and the SHSSC associations
with black and yellow preferences in participants with high hypnotic
susceptibility help to clarify the individual difference of color preference
and provide research hints for behavioral studies in normal individuals and
psychiatric patients.
