Abstrakt: 40 female Ss were given a 15-item modification of the Betts Vividness of Imagery Scale (1909), Gordon's Test of Visual Imagery Control (1949), and the Barber Suggestibility Scale (BSS; 1965). BSS subjective scores were positively correlated with vividness of imagery but negatively correlated with control of imagery. BSS objective scores did not correlate with either of the imagery variables. Marginal support was obtained for a hypothesis advanced by Richardson (1969) that Ss high on vividness but low on control of imagery would show greater suggestibility than would Ss possessing any other combination of these 2 characteristics.
