In Psychology, receptivity refers to the level of absorption or responsiveness. For instance, if you are testing a hypothesis, the receptivity of the individuals you test means that you are measuring the absorption or responsiveness to your measurement. Ego receptivity is also important when doing things like hypnosis.
