Schreiber, E. H. & McSweeney, P. (2004). Use of group hypnosis to improve academic achievement of college freshmen. Australian Journal of Clinical & Experimental Hypnosis, 32(2), 153-156. This study investigated whether group hypnosis would improve college students' achievement examination grades.

They were administered both a mid-term and a final exam during a 15-week term. The groups consisted of 32 general psychology students who were hypnotized and compared with a control group of 32 general psychology students. An analysis of the groups with t-tests showed a significant difference between the classes, with the hypnosis group manifesting a significantly higher mean score on the final exam. Suggestions for further research are made.
