“…Thus it may be that the present sample may not sufficiently correspond to previous research samples of extraverts and introverts. In addition, sex differences were not examined in this study, and this factor was of consequence in Van Dyne's (1981 ) study of imagery.…”

56 undergraduates took the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and recorded a memory and a daydream. The latter two products were scored for seven characteristics. Interaction of personality variables and imagery were significant over-all; e.g., feeling types reported more vivid memories, extraverts showed more positive emotional tone in memories, and feeling types showed more intense emotional tone, etc. Memories were more vivid than daydreams. Analysis generated new hypotheses.

“…Results from other research have shown a similar sex difference in nonhypnotic or hetero-hypnotic imagery. VanDyne and Stava (1981) found that female Ss experienced more vivid hetero-hypnotic imagery than male Ss did. Crawford (1982) found that females had more vivid waking state imagery than male Ss.…”

30 volunteer Ss practiced self-hypnosis for approximately 4 weeks and wrote a record of their experiences in a diary following each session. Imagery produced during self-hypnosis was coded in 2 ways: the imagery was either reality oriented or it was fantastic and had primary process qualities. Levels of imagery production remained virtually the same over a 4-week period. Self-hypnotic imagery was significantly greater for the female Ss than for the male Ss, particularly primary process imagery. Verbal expressivity (measured as the average number of words per page of each S diary) was calculated to control for the effects of verbal production on Ss' imagery scores. When imagery scores were standardized based on verbal expressivity, female Ss still produced significantly more primary process imagery than male Ss. Personality characteristics (assessed by standardized personality inventories) were examined in relation to self-hypnotic imagery. "Impulse Expression" was positively related to primary process imagery for the female Ss. "Outgoingness" was positively related to primary process imagery for the entire sample, but especially for the female Ss.

“…Vivid imagers were both low and highly hypnotizable, whereas those with poor imagery tended to be nonresponsive (Comey & Kirsch, 1999;Hilgard, 1970Hilgard, /1979Spanos, 1991;Sutcliffe, Perry & Sheehan, 1970;Van Dyne & Stava, 1981). Others who have used Betts Questionnaire Upon Mental Imagery (Betts, 1909) found higher imagery in high hypnotizables (Page, 1998) or no relationship at all for imagery and hypnotic susceptibility (Perry, 1973).…”

This study assessed response times and accuracy of motor imagery in waking and hypnotic states and to related responses to hypnotic experiences. The Vividness of Motor Imagery Questionnaire (VMIQ) was administered to 47 participants. A mental walking task was then performed in the waking state. In hypnosis, the same task was included within an imaginary journey after a hypnotic induction. An interaction effect showed for condition (waking vs. hypnotic) and distances. The further the participants had to walk in imagination, the longer they took. For all combinations, participants took significantly longer in hypnosis (p < .001) and were significantly less accurate in hypnosis in reproducing the difference between the different distances (p < .001). Results appear to show a relationship between motor imagery and hypnotic responding and support a state-trait conception of imagery.
