Abstract
We estimated the correlations of scores on vividness of imagery of 122 undergraduates using Marks's imagery questionnaire with positive and negative emotionality values of words. We also studied the influence of imagery vividness (good and poor imagers) in emotionality. Analysis indicates a significant correlation for the 52 men and for the total group between imagery vividness and emotionality. The good imagers gave higher emotionality scores than poor imagers.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
