The Imaginal Processes Inventory (IPI), originally devised for college students, was revised for use with high school students. Nineteen of the original 28 IPI daydreaming scales were used and the response format was changed. The self-report instrument was completed by a racially diverse sample of 181 ninth through eleventh grade students. Reliable application of the Revised IPI to this population was demonstrated. Distinct sex differences, not previously reported, were found showing more acceptance of daydreaming for females and more guilt and fearfulness in daydreaming for males. Factor structures were similar to previous studies, but a generally higher level of daydreaming and less uncontrolled mind wandering was found for high school students than for college students. The research suggests that personality differences between men and women could be further explored by the daydreaming instrument and that sex differences must be taken into account in further research. Use of such daydreaming data is suggested in therapeutic intervention.
意象过程量表（IPI）最初是为大学生设计的，后经修订用于高中生。使用了最初28个IPI白日梦量表中的19个，并改变了回答格式。这份自我报告工具由181名九年级至十一年级学生组成的种族多样化样本完成。结果表明修订后的IPI在该人群中具有可靠的适用性。研究发现了此前未报告的明显性别差异，即女性对白日梦的接受度更高，而男性在白日梦中会有更多的内疚感和恐惧感。因子结构与先前的研究相似，但与大学生相比，高中生的白日梦水平总体更高，且无控制的思绪游荡更少。该研究表明，白日梦工具可以进一步探索男性和女性之间的人格差异，并且在进一步的研究中必须考虑性别差异。建议在治疗干预中使用此类白日梦数据。
