This is the 5th report of a series of studies on the Questionnaire on Affective Imagery (QAI). Developed by Takashi Uesugi (1981,1982,1983,1989,1998,2000), the QAI pairs words for feelings with words for objects or experiences and asks respondents to rate the mental imagery that they produce. The QAI features 8 words for feelings:joy, hope, love, surprise, sadness, anger, fear, and hated. These words are then paired with16 words for objects or experiences : me, father, mother , husband, wife, family, home , relative, hobby, health, trip, friend, lover, life, school, and society.
Results for 114 subjects indicated that the coefficient of correlation between the vividness of visual imagery and affective valence of words for objects or experiences was r = 0.43. The coefficient of correlation with auditory imagery was r = 0.36, and the difference was statistically significant at a level of 5%. No other correlations were noted. Therefore, the relationship between the affective valence of and vividness of mental imagery produced by words for objects or experiences operates selectively.
