Multidimensionalidad del Habla Interna y su relación con las percepciones anómalas

The varieties of inner speech questionnaire – Revised (VISQ-R): Replicating and refining links between inner speech and psychopathology

“…Evaluative/critical inner speech, in contrast, would be expected to relate more strongly to rumination, shame, and perfectionism ( Flett et al, 2002 , Orth et al, 2006 ). The gender difference observed for evaluative/critical inner speech in the present data – with higher scores in female participants – is consistent with greater rates of rumination in women ( Nolen-Hoeksema & Jackson, 2001 ) and with findings from the previous VISQ ( Tamayo-Agudelo et al, 2016 ).…”

“…It may be that dialogicality acts as a “core” feature of inner speech, and the other VISQ factors mediate its relation to other variables. Alternatively, it may be that the concept of dialogicality is liable to varying interpretations, leading to inconsistent performance across samples: for example, in Spanish translations of the original VISQ ( Perona-Garcelán et al, 2017 ) a further dialogic factor needed to be added that explicitly referred to inner speech in terms of position of self in a dialogue (see also Tamayo-Agudelo et al, 2016 ). In our experience, English-speaking users of the scale have typically interpreted dialogic items to both include dialogues with oneself and dialogues with another (indeed, the focus of a Vygotskian understanding of dialogicality is arguably in structure, rather than the identity of interlocutors), but it is possible that cultural understandings of dialogue will differ considerably depending on the language used.…”

“…A follow-up study in a similar sample also implicated relations with self-esteem and dissociation, with the latter partly mediating the link between inner speech and hallucination-proneness ( Alderson-Day et al, 2014 ). Since then the VISQ has been used to assess inner speech in people with psychosis ( de Sousa, Sellwood, Spray, Fernyhough, & Bentall, 2016 ) and explore relations with reading imagery ( Alderson-Day, Bernini, & Fernyhough, 2017 ), along with being adapted for use in Spanish ( Perona-Garcelán, Bellido-Zanin, Senín-Calderón, López-Jiménez, & Rodríguez-Testal, 2017 ), Colombian ( Tamayo-Agudelo, Vélez-Urrego, Gaviria-Castaño, & Perona-Garcelán, 2016 ), and Chinese populations ( Ren, Wang, & Jarrold, 2016 ). Self-reported dialogic inner speech on the VISQ has also been observed to correlate with neural activation of areas linked to producing inner dialogue during an fMRI task ( Alderson-Day et al, 2016 ).…”

The tangled roots of inner speech, voices and delusions

“…A number of studies have explored the relations between the phenomenology of inner speech and AVH. This has been done in both clinical (de Sousa et al, 2016; Hurlburt, 1990; Langdon et al, 2009) and non-clinical (Alderson-Day et al., 2014; Perona-Garcelán et al., 2017; Tamayo-Agudelo et al, 2016) samples. We focus here on research relating to clinical populations, as it remains unclear if the findings from non-clinical samples can be generalized to clinical samples.…”
