This research validated and extended the Movement Imagery Questionnaire- Revised (MIQ-R; Hall & Martin, 1997). Study 1 (N = 400) examined the MIQ-R's factor structure via multitrait-multimethod confirmatory factor analysis. The questionnaire was then modified in Study 2 (N = 370) to separately assess the ease of imaging external visual imagery and internal visual imagery, as well as kinesthetic imagery (termed the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3; MIQ-3). Both Studies 1 and 2 found that a correlated-traits correlated-uniqueness model provided the best fit to the data, while displaying gender invariance and no significant differences in latent mean scores across gender. Study 3 (N = 97) demonstrated the MIQ-3's predictive validity revealing the relationships between imagery ability and observational learning use. Findings highlight the method effects that occur by assessing each type of imagery ability using the same four movements and demonstrate that better imagers report greater use of observational learning.
这项研究验证并扩展了运动意象问卷修订版（MIQ-R；Hall 和 Martin，1997）。研究 1（N=400）通过多特质-多方法验证性因子分析检验了 MIQ-R 的因子结构。然后，在研究 2（N=370）中对问卷进行了修改，以分别评估外部视觉意象、内部视觉意象和动觉意象的易感性（称为运动意象问卷-3；MIQ-3）。研究 1 和研究 2 均发现，相关特质相关独特性模型为数据提供了最佳拟合，同时表现出性别不变性，并且在性别之间的潜在平均分数上没有显著差异。研究 3（N=97）证明了 MIQ-3 的预测有效性，揭示了意象能力与观察学习使用之间的关系。研究结果突出了通过使用相同的四个动作评估每种意象能力所产生的方法效应，并表明更好的想象者报告了更多的观察学习使用。
