Introversion-Extraversion, Tempo, and Guided Imagery
Strelow and Davidson tested the hypotheses that (a) introverts would produce more vivid imagery than would extraverts, and that (b) introverts would produce better imagery if the background auditory tempo were slow, and extraverts would produce better mental imagery of the background auditory tempo were fast. Participants (N=240) were classified as introverts or extraverts and were randomly assigned one of three tempo conditions: slow, fast, or none.
They were instructed to form images while listening individually to one of two stories. Clicks (slow or fast) sounded in the background during the stories. All participants then completed detailed questionnaires about the vividness of their imagery. Analysis showed that introverts did indeed report significantly more vividness in their imagery than did extraverts. But no correlation between personality and tempo was found.
