Development and Adaptation of Thought Stream Questionnaire

The article is devoted to problems of studying the components of inner speech and their population diversity. Representation of visual images in the context of human thought activity is also considered. The sample, which included 694 respondents, shows a satisfactory level of psychometric characteristics of the Thought Stream Questionnaire developed by us. The results of the study indicate a wide individual variability of the studied components of inner speech (narratives and disputes, addressing to oneself, to an imagined interlocutor or to a representation of a familiar person, presence of answers from an inner interlocutor, intensification of different components of internal dialogues and monologues in stress) and frequency and brightness of internal visual images.
