“…Subjects rate their images on a 7-point rating scale like that of the VVIQ. A test-retest reliability (7-month interval) of .76 (Sheehan, 1967) and a split half reliability of .95 (Juhasz, 1972) have been reported.…”

“…It is denoted in Tables 3, 4, 6, and 7 by the term, "Vividness." This questionnaire had a test-retest reliability of .78 (Sheehan, 1967b), split-half correlations of .91 and .93 in the same sample on two different occasions (Shor, Ome, & O'Connell, 1966), and coefficients alpha of .95 and .99 for samples of undergraduate students and professors, respectively (Juhasz, 1972). A single factor accounted for a major part of the variance, suggesting that this questionnaire measured general vividness of imagery (Sheehan, 1967a).…”

The relationship between visual and motor imagery was investigated by administering a battery of visual and motor imagery measures to a sample of 101 men (n=49) and women (n=52), who ranged in age from 18 to 59 (M=34.5, SD= 12.6). A principal components analysis applied to the correlation matrix indicated four underlying components, which explained 62.9% of the variance. The components were named Implicit Visual Imagery Ability, Self-report of Visual and Motor Imagery, Implicit Motor Imagery Ability, and Explicit Motor Imagery Ability. These results suggested a dissociation between visual and motor imagery although visual and motor imagery were associated as self-reports and there were correlations among particular measures.

“…The QMI's psychometric properties are well documented. QMI scores have been found to be (a) internally consistent (Juhasz, 1972;Westcott & Rosenstock, 1976), (b) stable over time (e.g., Sheehan, 1967b;Sutherland, Harrell, & Isaacs, 1987;Westcott & Rosenstock, 1976), (c) correlated with other measures of imagery ability (e.g., Kilhstrom et al, 1991;Morris & Gale, 1974;Rehm, 1973;Rossi & Fingeret, 1977), and (d) predictive of imagery-related criterion variables (e.g., Hatakeyama, 1984;Sheehan & McConkey, 1982;Sutherland et al, 1987).…”

Beyond the Obvious: Chronic Vividness of Imagery and the Use of Information in Decision Making

The authors investigate two competing hypotheses about how chronic vividness of imagery interacts with the vividness and salience of information in decision making. Results from four studies, covering a variety of decision domains, indicate that chronic imagery vividness rarely amplifies the effects of vivid and salient information. Imagery vividness may, in fact, attenuate the effects of vivid and salient information. This is because, relative to nonvivid imagers, vivid imagers rely less on information that appears obvious and rely more on information that seems less obvious. This tendency is so robust that vividness of imagery may amplify the effects of vivid information only when this information is the only information available in the decision field. The findings seem to reflect vivid imagers' tendency to totally immerse themselves in a decision problem and scrutinize the available information creatively. ᭧
