Psychometric Quality of a Revised Version Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire

In this study, reliability and construct validity of the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (VVIQ) and of a revised version, the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire-2 (VVIQ–2) were assessed with a total of 279 undergraduate psychology students who were also administered other measures of imagery. Cronbach α reliabilities for both the VVIQ and the VVIQ–2 were high. A Pearson correlation between scores on the two versions of the questionnaire was high and similar to correlations with other measures of imagery. Estimates of internal consistency reliability and construct validity were similar for the two versions. New lines of research involving both imagery questionnaires are proposed.
