Meanings
comparative more suggestible · superlative most suggestible
- Susceptible to influence by suggestion; easily swayed.
In Europe, through his clinical and forensic work, Gisli Gudjonsson noted that some individuals seemed to be more suggestible than others. This approach assumed that suggestibility is a trait and led to the development of a model of interrogative suggestibility (Gudjonsson & Clark, 1986).
