The SUIS-PL consists of nine items with very good internal consistency and validity. For example, it shows a moderate correlation with the vividness of mental images and with temperamental traits related to the Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS) and the Behavioral Approach System (BAS). We also investigated the relationship between the SUIS-PL and measures of risk perception and willingness to take risks, showing the possible applicability of the scale in this context. Interestingly, we found that people with higher scores in the SUIS-PL were generally more willing to take risks, suggesting that they may spontaneously imagine positive, rather than negative, aspects of risky situations.","PeriodicalId":89150,"journal":{"name":"Imagination, cognition and personality","volume":"43 1","pages":"58 - 82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46335614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a student population, 54 healthy participants underwent recalled a sad autobiographic memory before they were randomly assigned 1:1 to either the safe place induction or the rumination task. We could demonstrate that after negative mood induction the participants in the safe place condition showed a significantly stronger improvement in positive, but not negative affect in contrast to the rumination condition.

We have five innovative articles that examine topics dealing with role identity, imagery and physical activity, sex differences in facial body dissatisfaction, mindfulness and lucid dreaming, auditory imagery, and role identities. The initial study examines conventional and idiosyncratic role-identity meanings. The scholars leading this study are Michael Carter, Jazmin Hernandez, and Danielle Morales. This was a massive sample with over 930 respondents. They discuss the conventional role dimension based on societal socialization and an individual dimension that represents personal interpretation for role engagement. They examined how the balance of conventional and idiosyncratic role identity meaning contribute to selfidentity commitment. It is interesting how conventionality appears to have a greater effect on commitment to identities. The second study is by a team of six researchers: Sarah Deck, Brittany Semenchuk, Craig Hall, Lindsay Duncan, Sasha Kullman, and Shaelyn Strachan. They examine the effectiveness of physical activity imagery in conjunction with self and combined interventions on physical activity and associated outcomes. They begin their study by noting how an overwhelming majority of people in developed nations fail to meet the recommended guidelines for moderate physical activity during a week despite the increased risk of cardiovascular disease. They examined the effect of three interventions: imagery, possible selves, and combined, on exercise and self-efficacy, compared to a control group who were given nutritional information as an intervention. They had some interesting null results that are discussed in terms of health awareness. The third study examines the association between mindfulness, meditation, and lucid dreaming in a sample of over 220 participants. The authors are Chelsea Geise and Jonathan Smith. They discuss how lucid dreaming and mindfulness involve metaawareness (awareness of awareness) in which one is aware and consciously attends to present experiences. It is interesting how lucid dreaming was not associated with meditation practice or narrow-spectrum mindfulness experiences such as present-centered awareness and nonjudgmental acceptance while it was associated with dream recall and the experience of transcendence. The fourth study is by Timothy Hubbard and Susan Ruppel. They investigated the valence and verbalizations in terms of auditory imagery with subjective lateralization.

However, evidence suggests people vary dispositionally in how strongly they experience narrative identity. Recently, a self-report scale called the Cinematic Self scale was constructed and validated to measure this trait variation in narrative identity. In that article, evidence across five studies supported the validity of the cinematic self scale as measuring narrative identity. A limitation of that evidence was its exclusive reliance on self-reports; this can be problematic because associations may be inflated by shared method biases. The present research builds on that limitation by using data from multiple methods: self-reports and informant reports. Do self-reported cinematic self scores correspond with informant-reported narrative behaviors? University students (N = 127) completed the cinematic self scale and informants reported on their narrative behaviors (N = 395). Positive, medium-sized correlations between self-reports and informant reports were found across multiple analytical approaches, controlling for personality variables. The results extend validation evidence of the cinematic self scale as a measure of narrative identity.","PeriodicalId":89150,"journal":{"name":"Imagination, cognition and personality","volume":"42 1","pages":"333 - 351"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46536410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All participants first completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale followed by two tests assessing executive functions : a phonemic verbal fluency task and the Similarities subtest of the WAIS-IV. Finally, participants were asked to collect three SDFPs. Results highlighted that thematic contents of SDFPs varied with advancing age: percentage of achievement events decreased whereas percentage of leisure or dependence events increased. No significant difference in specificity and meaning-making was observed between the three groups. Compared to the SDFPs of young and middle-aged adults, older participants’ SDFPs were closer to the present time. Moreover, young-old adults provided fewer words to describe their narratives than young individuals.","PeriodicalId":89150,"journal":{"name":"Imagination, cognition and personality","volume":"42 1","pages":"352 - 371"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49558049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

May we all be warm during the coming months with increased heating costs. Volume 42, Issue 2 two contains five exciting articles. The topics deal with lucid dreaming, imagined interactions and unrequited love, narrative identity and conception, and creative thinking. The first pair of studies examine lucid dreaming and personality led by the dream research team of Michel Schredl in the sleep laboratory and Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim, Germany. When dreaming lucidly, the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming within the dream. The initial study is co-authored with Anellka Remedios, Silvia Marin-Dragu, Sana Sheikh, Alyssa Forbes, Ravishankar Subramani Iyer, Matt Orr, and Sandra Meier. They investigated the frequency of recalling lucid dreams and personality correlates during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of us recall stories of people having time on their hands while staying at home during periods of isolation and quarantining. Hence, dreaming can increase. Their study was large as they surveyed over 1500 participants about the frequency of lucid dreaming and their association with the BIG 5 personality traits (OCEAN; openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism.) The results are intriguing in that lucid dream frequency was related to Covid-19-related worries while dream recall frequency was not. The second study was authored by Michael Schredl, Judith Zumstein, Sven Baumann, and Mirja Schmidt. They investigated sensory processing sensitivity and the Big 5 personality traits in conjunction with lucid dreaming. There are three factors of sensory processing sensitivity; ease of Excitation, aesthetic sensitivity, and low sensory threshold. Again, this was a large study with over 1800 participants. The older mean age of around 48 was nice, since so many studies contain younger age distributions. The results are intriguing in terms of the mechanism underlying the inter-individual differences in lucid dream frequency. The third study investigates mental imagery in the form of imagined interactions in terms of not having love returned among Chinese participants. It is authored byMu Hu, Bingqing Zhang, Yinghe Shen, Jing Guo, and Shuwen Wang. Over 200 Chinese college students participated by answering surveys. The finding that more idealized romantic beliefs were associated with stronger unrequited love reinforces earlier findings.
