Beschreibung: Inner speech is defined as a silent, internal vocal activity, which has been associated with many important psychological processes, cognitive and emotional variables, as well as psychopathological symptoms. As inner speech is not accompanied by any visible behavioral manifestation, it has been considered quite difficult to measure. However, there exist several questionnaires, like the ?Varietes of inner speech questionnaire ?(McCarthy-Jones & Fernyhough, 2011), the ?Self-Talk Scale ?(Brinthaupt et al., 2009), the ?Self-Verbalization Questionnaire ?(Duncan & Cheyne, 1999) or the ?Self-Talk Inventory ?(Calvete et al., 2005), to name a few examples.
The aim of this thesis, is to provide an overview and summary of the existing measurements of inner speech. This includes chances but also disadvantages of different questionnaires. Furthermore, alternative methods of measuring inner speech should be briefly discussed.
By providing an overview of inner speech questionnaires, this thesis can contribute to creating a thorough and comprehensive understanding of different measurements. Additionally it can support future research by offering orientation on which methods seem particularly suitable in different contexts.
