'''Suggestibility enhancement''' can be described as an increase in one's quality of being inclined to accept and act on the suggestions of others. This component commonly occurs under the influence of [[hallucinogens]], particularly for those who are inexperienced or currently undergoing [[delusion]]s and [[memory suppression]]. A typical example of suggestibility enhancement would be a [[trip sitter]] making a person believe something false without question simply by telling it to them as true, even if the statement would usually be easily recognizable as impossible or absurd. If this is successfully accomplished it can potentially result in the experience of relevant accompanying hallucinations and delusions which further solidify one's belief in that which has been suggested to them.
'''Suggestibility intensification''' is defined as an increased tendency to accept and act on the ideas or attitudes of others.<ref name="SjobergHollister1965">{{cite journal|last1=Sjoberg|first1=B.

It is worth noting that this component has been studied extensively by the scientific literature and has a relatively large body of data confirming its presence across multiple hallucinogens.
