Research in this area attempts to prove that the altered state theories are wrong, but that the effects of hypnosis are nevertheless real and that subjects do not lake the effects of hypnosis, as social role and response expectancy theorists believe. A number of researchers hold that both altered state and social role/ response expectancy theories are correct and responsible for the effect of hypnosis. Additionally, it can be argued that a hypnotic state is a deeper form of hypnosis, following a nonaltered or less altered state in which suggestions are given and taken according to the social role/response expectancy theory.
