摘要
Objective:With the development of social psychology, research on suggestion in interpersonal influences has been underway. However, majority of this research focused on qualitative analysis. This study attempted to further verify the law of existence and action of suggestion using a quantitative approach. Methods: On the basis of available research, an eight-item test was developed to measure suggestibility of college students. Meanwhile, personality of the college students was also assessed and compared with their levels of suggestibility. Results: Significant difference in suggestibility was found between males and females is significant. There was also significant difference in the Q2-factor of the 16PF Scale between highly suggested and lowly suggested subjects. Conclusion: Females, as a whole, showed higher scores of suggestibility than males among college students. The college students with higher scores of suggestibility tended to behave more independently. Assessment manual of the eight-item test of suggestibility is available.
