Abstract
From 1909 until the present time, many questionnaires have been constructed and have often been used to measure the ability of subjects to form mental imagery; however, they have been strongly questioned, basically because imagery self-ratings are contaminated by social expectations. We examine the relation of self-esteem and self-image with subjective vividness of visual imagery. We presented to 93 polytechnic students one objective test of imagery, one subjective test of imagery, one measure of self-esteem, and one measure of self-image. We obtained significant correlations between self-esteem and the subjective measure of imagery vividness, and between self-image and the measure of imagery vividness; however; self-esteem and self-image did not correlate significantly with an objective test of imagery
