A group of paid volunteers were subjected to hypnotically induced anxiety followed by hypnotically induced amnesia. Anxiety was measured by two pencil and paper tests, multiple observers, and the plasma hydrocortisone level. Scores in all measures tended to be higher in an exposure to the same experience six months later. These findings are cited as evidence that hypnotically induced amnesia is analogous to repression.
