Are inner speech self-report questionnaires reliable and valid?

چکیده
People often talk to themselves for various reasons, including self-regulation, problem solving, and decision making. We examined the reliability and validity of several self-report measures of inner speech in a sample of 380 undergraduate students. Participants were asked to list as many instances of what they talk to themselves about as they could recall and they also completed several widely-used self-report measures of inner speech, including the Self-Verbalization Questionnaire, the SelfTalk Scale, the Inner Speech Questionnaire, the Self-Talk Inventory, and the Rumination-Reflection Questionnaire. The results showed that self-reports of inner speech are reliable but have only limited validity. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
