I seem to recall an informal study done by Tom Mount(?) where two 
groups of divers were taken to 150ft(?).  One group were told they might 
get a bit of narcosis, but they could easily deal with it.  The other 
group was told they would get severe narcosis.  The group that was told 
they would get severe narcosis had all kinds of problems, one person even 
dropped out.  The other group did just fine and reported minimal symptoms.
