How vivid is your mental imagery? Validation of the vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire in five Polish samples.

European Journal of Psychological Assessment, Vol 39(6), 2023, 437-448; doi:10.1027/1015-5759/a000721Across five studies (total N> 3,600), we report the psychometric properties of the Polish version of the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (VVIQ-2PL). Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a unidimensional structure of this instrument; measurement invariance concerning participants’ gender was established as well. The VVIQ-2PL showed excellent test-retest reliability, high internal consistency, and adequate construct validity. As predicted, art students scored significantly higher in visual mental imagery than the non-artist group. We discuss these findings alongside future research directions and possible modifications of VVIQ-2PL. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
