TL;DR — A 1973 master’s thesis in clinical psychology at North Texas State University testing whether hypnotic suggestion could enlarge women’s breasts.
A master of science thesis in clinical psychology (North Texas State University, May 1973; 27 pages, 3 tables, 3 illustrations, 30 references). It reasons that because emotional states can affect the hormonal mechanisms behind breast development, hypnotic suggestion might influence them, and tests the idea on nineteen volunteer women students, with three serving as a control group and the rest hypnotised once a week and given suggestions for breast growth.
The thesis reports that the control group showed no increase and every experimental subject showed some increase in measurements. The sample was tiny and the claim has not been established.
What it is: an unpublished master’s thesis with a fringe hypothesis. A curiosity, not a reliable result.
