“…Second, all three forms of perfectionism-self-oriented, otheroriented, and socially prescribed perfectionism-showed unique positive relationships with grandiose fantasy, suggesting all three are associated with compensatory fantasies of being successful and gaining recognition and admiration. Lee, Roberts-Collins, Coughtrey, Phillips, and Shafran (2011) found that perfectionists are prone to intrusive mental images (e.g., intrusive images of problems at work or at school), and our study extends this work by suggesting grandiose mental images are important to perfectionists. For some, perfection may be easier to imagine than to obtain.…”

Multidimensional perfectionism is related to grandiose narcissism, with other-oriented perfectionism showing the strongest, most consistent relationships. The relationships with vulnerable narcissism, however, are unclear. Our study investigated how three forms of perfectionism-self-oriented, other-oriented, and socially prescribed perfectionism oriented perfectionism appears to represent a form of perfectionism predominantly related to narcissistic grandiosity, whereas socially prescribed perfectionism is predominantly related to narcissistic vulnerability. As the first study to examine perfectionism in relation to narcissistic grandiosity and vulnerability, our research both extends and clarifies the nomological network of the perfectionism construct in important ways.

“…In each of these cases, higher overall or subscale scores (particularly the self-critical facet of self-talk) would be expected to be associated with increased self-talk frequency. For example, research shows that perfectionism is associated with increased levels of stress and stress reactivity (Flett et al., 2016) as well as increased intrusive imagery and difficulty completing tasks (Lee et al., 2011). Such tendencies should increase the need for self-regulatory self-talk.…”

Despite the popularity of research on intrapersonal communication across many disciplines, there has been little attention devoted to the factors that might account for individual differences in talking to oneself. In this paper, I explore two possible explanations for why people might differ in the frequency of their self-talk. According to the “social isolation” hypothesis, spending more time alone or having socially isolating experiences will be associated with increased self-talk. According to the “cognitive disruption” hypothesis, having self-related experiences that are cognitively disruptive will be associated with increased self-talk frequency. Several studies using the Self-Talk Scale are pertinent to these hypotheses. The results indicate good support for the social isolation hypothesis and strong support for the cognitive disruption hypothesis. I conclude the paper with a wide range of implications for future research on individual differences in self-talk and other kinds of intrapersonal communication.

“…On average the interview took 30 minutes to complete. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and data were explored using thematic analysis with descriptive statistics (Smith, 2003), following the approach of Speckens et al (2007), Lee, Roberts-Collins, Coughtrey, Phillips and Shafran (2011) and Philips (2011). Individual sections of material were coded, from which broader themes were derived.…”

“…The content and wording of the interview was based on previous studies that have assessed imagery in clinical populations (e.g. Holmes, Crane, Fennell and Williams, 2007; Lee et al, 2011; Osman, Cooper, Hackmann and Veale, 2004; Philips, 2011). The terminology “pictures in your mind” rather than “imagery” was used following the recommendation of Philips (2011).…”
