    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Cognitive Psychology

    Background:

    • The Imaginal Processes Inventory (IPI) has demonstrated psychometric support.
    • Previous research has explored aspects of daydreaming and its correlates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To confirm and extend existing research on the psychometric properties of the IPI.
    • To investigate the interrelationships between daydreaming, depression, locus of control, and visual imagery.

    Main Methods:

    • 100 female undergraduates completed the IPI, Beck Depression Inventory, Rotter Locus of Control Scale, and Gordon's Test of Visual Imagery Control.
    • Test-retest reliability was assessed with a subsample of 39 participants.

    Main Results:

    • Test-retest correlations supported the reliability and generalizability of IPI scores, aligning with prior findings.

  • Significant intercorrelations were found between the IPI scales and measures of depression, locus of control, and visual imagery.

    • Conclusions:

    • The findings support the psychometric soundness of the IPI for assessing daydreaming.
    • The study provides insights into the complex relationship between daydreaming, depression, and cognitive control mechanisms.
