Scale Structure
This instrument consists of 11 items organized into 3 factors/subscales: Motivational Imagery, Cognitive Imagery, Healing Imagery.
| Factor / Subscale | Items | N |
|---|---|---|
| Motivational Imagery | 1,2,3 | 3 |
| Cognitive Imagery | 4,5,6,7 | 4 |
| Healing Imagery | 8,9,10,11 | 4 |

Total scores range from 11 to 77. Interpretation guidelines:
- Low Imagery Use: 11 – 33
- Moderate Imagery Use: 34 – 55
- High Imagery Use: 56 – 77
Psychometric Properties
Internal Consistency: The scale has demonstrated good to excellent internal consistency with reported Cronbach’s alpha values of High internal consistency (typically Cronbach's alpha > 0.80 for subscales).
Administration
The scale is self-administered and typically takes approximately 5 minutes to complete. It can be administered individually or in group settings. No special training is required for administration.
