This narrative inquiry aimed to investigate whether the deliberate use of positive imagined interactions (IIs) could contribute to the enhancement of cross-cutting political conflict, and also tested the seventh theorem of II conflict linkage theory. Undergraduate student participants were assigned to one of three conditions: positive II, negative II, or control in a three-phase procedure. Participants engaged in an II and then reflected on their IIs through open-ended questions before having real cross-cutting conversations on a political topic of their choice with trained confederates. Participants then completed a questionnaire assessing the constructiveness or destructiveness of their interaction. Thematic analysis revealed that 40 out of the 45 total participants engaged in positive and constructive conflict with their conversation partners. Positive IIs facilitated perspective-taking, while negative IIs allowed individuals to mentally defend their beliefs. Although the results neither confirmed nor refuted Theorem 7 of II conflict linkage theory, they did provide support for Theorem 3, which suggests that negative intrusive IIs can manifest even when individuals attempt to have positive IIs.
本叙事调查旨在研究刻意使用积极的想象互动（IIs）是否有助于增强跨领域政治冲突，同时检验 II 冲突联系理论的第七定理。本科生参与者被分配到三个条件中的一个：积极 II、消极 II 或对照，分三个阶段进行。参与者先进行一次 II，然后通过开放式问题对自己的 II 进行反思，最后与经过培训的同盟者就自己选择的政治话题进行真正的交叉对话。然后，参与者填写一份问卷，评估互动的建设性或破坏性。专题分析表明，在总共 45 名参与者中，有 40 人与他们的对话伙伴发生了积极和建设性的冲突。积极的贰言促进了观点的采纳，而消极的贰言则允许个人在精神上捍卫自己的信念。尽管研究结果既没有证实也没有反驳 II 冲突联系理论的定理 7，但它们确实为定理 3 提供了支持，该定理表明，即使个人试图进行积极的 II，也会出现消极的侵入性 II。

Motor imagery (MI) training is used to improve motor performance in both patients and athletes. The putative link between personality and MI remains however largely underexplored. In this pilot study, 72 sports students performed MI and physical execution of a finger pointing task. MI ability was assessed through the mental chronometry paradigm that captured the temporal components of imagery, as well as self-report measures of imagery vividness and imagery ease. Personality dimensions were assessed with the five-factor model. Extraversion was found to be significantly correlated with MI ability as measured with mental chronometry ( r = .37, p = .001) but not with imagery vividness ( r = −.08, p = .481) or imagery ease ( r = −.04, p = .741). The other personality dimensions were unrelated to MI ability (all p > .05). Based on these findings, we postulate that extravert individuals may have an advantage in controlling and maintaining the temporal aspect of mental movements. This may help extraverts to better benefit from imagery training.
运动想象(MI)训练用于改善患者和运动员的运动表现。然而，人格和MI之间的假定联系在很大程度上仍未得到充分探索。在这项初步研究中，72名体育学生进行了MI和物理执行指指任务。MI能力是通过心理计时范式来评估的，该范式捕获了图像的时间成分，以及图像生动度和图像轻松度的自我报告测量。人格维度采用五因素模型进行评估。外倾性与MI能力显著相关(r = 0.37, p = .001)，但与意象生动度无关(r = -)。08, p = .481)或图像轻松度(r = -。04, p = .741)。其他人格维度与MI能力无关(p >. 05)。基于这些发现，我们假设外向的个体可能在控制和维持心理运动的时间方面具有优势。这可能有助于外向者更好地从想象训练中获益。

Welcome to our fall issue for Volume 43, Issue 1. This issue contains five insightful studies that examine disassociation, mental boundaries and the association between self-esteem and social support, regulation of emotions in terms of detachment, behavioral inhibition, and spontaneous use of temperament as well as psychopathology and fluid intelligence in the form of openness to experience. The first study is by Craig Polizzi, Damla Ece Aksen, Fiona Sleight, and Steven Jay Lynn. They discuss how dissociation is characterized by interruptions in consciousness, behavior, body representation, emotion, identity, memory, motor control, and perception as noted by the American Psychiatric Association. They use Lynn and his associate’s model of dissociation that contains variables including sleep disturbances, emotional dysregulation, mindfulness, interoceptive awareness, and impulsivity as well as schizotypy (i.e., magical ideation) and borderline personality disorder. They sample over 350 respondents and using a series of regression analyses, report the association among dissociation dimensions (e.g., depersonalization, amnesia, absorption) and cognitive variables (i.e., fantasy proneness, cognitive failures, thought control). The correlations between dissociation and trauma-related variables (e.g., PTSD, resilience) are especially interesting. They report on indirect effects on dissociation for sleep, cognitive failures, and fantasy proneness. Findings are discussed in terms of how Lynn’s transdiagnostic model is reinforced and how multivariate studies advance understanding of dissociative disorders. The second study examines mental boundaries in association with self-esteem and social support. It is conducted by John Mathe and William Kelly. Their study is based on the work of Ernest Hartman who distinguished between thick and thin boundaries. Thick boundaries are characterized by black/white thinking and have more difficulty in seeing shades of gray. They have a solid physical boundary and a clear social connection to others in a group. Conversely, Individuals with thin boundaries are the opposite and do not have a strong sense of physical space and feel they fit in many groups and lack a clear connection to others. This study is the first to examine the association with self esteem and social support. In a sample of over 295 respondents, they use Hartmann’s Boundary Questionnaire and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem scale. Editorial

The current study examined the relationships between attentional control (AC) and the Big Five personality traits. Older and younger adults ( Mage = 38.62 years; Range = 18–90) completed a battery of behavioral attention tasks consisting of Stroop color naming, antisaccade, and operation span, which were designed to assess inhibition, goal maintenance, and working memory processes as a comprehensive assessment of AC. Participants then completed a set of personality scales including the NEO-FFI short form. Regression analyses revealed that Big Five personality scores were not related to the AC composite, but individual task relationships were found. Specifically, participants reporting greater Conscientiousness showed improved Stroop performance, but a Conscientiousness benefit did not extend to the other AC measures. No relationships emerged between other Big Five traits and AC. This work suggests potential cognitive benefits for Conscientiousness in older and younger adults and highlights a fruitful integration of personality and basic cognitive processes.

Human beings have relished the idea of possessing supernatural/superhuman powers for millennia. However, do some people desire such powers more than others based on specific individual differences and characteristics? We examined how individual differences in imaginative involvement (fantasy proneness, absorption) and magical beliefs (superstitiousness and religiousness) uniquely related to desire for 12 supernatural powers (final N = 143); participants also rated the supernaturalness of each power and how much they believed humans possess/will possess each power. These individual differences, as predicted, consistently correlated with the desire for supernatural powers and the belief that humans may possess these powers in the future. After controlling for sci-fi and fantasy narrative consumption, only absorption and superstitiousness (chance subscale) uniquely related to desire for supernatural powers; and only absorption uniquely predicted the belief that humans do/would possess these powers. Ultimately, there are important individual differences in desire and perception of supernatural powers.

Summer is always a welcome season for many people. Welcome to our summer issue for Volume 42, Issue 4. We have five innovative articles dealing with narrative identity and storytelling, daydreaming, divergent thinking, memory among friends and twins, and fantasies of revenge. The first pair of studies examines narrative identity in terms of understanding ourselves through storytelling. The first study authored by Alexander Wong and Shrija Dirghangi examines self-identity by examining self and other ratings. They discuss narrative identity in which individuals understand themselves through story telling. They discuss five studies reporting on the validity and reliability of a scale to determine how Big 5 personality traits are associated with narrative identity. They contrasted selfrating of identity with informant ratings. For example, it is interesting how cinematic self and informant reports are associated with extraversion while only cinematic self is negatively associated with neuroticism, but not for informants. The second study explores future projections across the lifespan. It is conducted by Alain Fritsch, Virginie Voltzenlogel, and Christine Cuervo-Lombard. They discuss how personal identity develops from adolescence through narratives. People often remember past events to ground themselves for self-development. People can be mental time travelers by projecting themselves into the future as well as reliving the past, which is linked to the episodic memory system. It is especially intriguing how future projections of young and middle-age adults were similar, yet quite different from older adults due to retirement. The third article is by Melina West, Eli Somer, and Inge-Marie Eigsti. They examine autism as it relates to maladaptive daydreaming and divergent thinking. Over 540 participants were surveyed among several social platforms (e.g., Redditt, Facebook, International Consortium for Maladaptive Daydreaming Research). Additionally, another sample was recruited via Simons Foundation Powering Autism Research for Knowledge (SPARK), an online research collaborative of participants with professional ASD diagnoses. Using partial correlational analyses and hierarchical multiple linear regression models, they examined the effect of ASD traits (daydreaming community sample only), ADHD symptoms (ASD sample only), diagnostic age (ASD sample only), and divergent thinking originality and fluency while controlling for demographic variables (age, gender, level of education, and psychiatric Editorial
夏天对许多人来说总是一个受欢迎的季节。欢迎收看我们的夏季版第42卷第4期。我们有五篇创新文章，涉及叙事身份和讲故事、白日梦、发散思维、朋友和双胞胎之间的记忆以及复仇的幻想。第一对研究从通过讲故事来理解我们自己的角度来考察叙事身份。Alexander Wong和Shrija Dirghangi撰写的第一项研究通过检查自我和其他评级来检查自我认同。他们讨论了个体通过讲故事来理解自己的叙事身份。他们讨论了五项关于量表有效性和可靠性的研究，以确定五大人格特征如何与叙事身份相关。他们将身份的自我评价与告密者的评价进行了对比。例如，有趣的是，电影自我和线人报告与外向性有关，而只有电影自我与神经质呈负相关，但线人则不然。第二项研究探讨了整个生命周期的未来预测。它由阿兰·弗里奇、维吉尼·沃尔岑洛格尔和克里斯汀·库尔沃·隆巴德指挥。他们讨论了个人身份是如何从青春期通过叙事发展起来的。人们经常回忆过去的事件，为自我发展奠定基础。人们可以通过将自己投射到未来以及重温过去来成为心理时间旅行者，这与情节记忆系统有关。特别有趣的是，年轻人和中年人的未来预测是相似的，但由于退休，与老年人的预测截然不同。第三篇文章由Melina West、Eli Somer和Inge Marie Eigsti撰写。他们研究了自闭症，因为它与不适应的白日梦和发散思维有关。在几个社交平台（如Redditt、Facebook、国际适应不良白日梦研究联合会）中，对540多名参与者进行了调查。此外，另一个样本是通过西蒙斯基金会资助自闭症知识研究（SPARK）招募的，这是一个由专业自闭症诊断参与者组成的在线研究合作组织。他们使用偏相关分析和分层多元线性回归模型，在控制人口统计学变量（年龄、性别、教育水平和精神病编辑）的同时，检验了自闭症谱系障碍特征（仅限白日梦社区样本）、多动症症状（仅限自闭症谱系疾病样本）、诊断年龄（仅限ASD样本）、发散思维独创性和流利性的影响

Little is known about the internal mental experiences of individuals with ASD. While some research suggests a limited capacity for imagination, other studies show heightened interest in fantasy and unique forms of creative thinking in ASD. This study explored daydreaming experiences in adults with ASD, with a focus on immersive daydreaming and its relation to divergent thinking abilities. Individuals with and without a diagnosis of ASD were surveyed on their daydreaming habits and completed a divergent thinking task. Experiences of immersive daydreaming were identified in 42% of adults with ASD and were related to broad ASD traits in those without a diagnosis of ASD. However, ASD diagnosis was unrelated to originality of divergent thinking, which was negatively associated with immersive daydreaming. Moreover, daydreaming experiences in ASD were diverse. A more nuanced understanding of the mental experiences in ASD may assist in the development of interventions and support for this population.

The present study tests the idea that individuals high on both trait Openness-to-Experience and fluid intelligence can suffer from an overactive mental state that depletes cognitive capability and leads to restless and impulsive behavior. In all, 118 participants (58 females, 59 males) were tested using the multidimensional assessment of fluid intelligence (GIA), an Open-to-Experience trait measure (HEXACO), and Levenson's secondary psychopathy questionnaire. Although analysis of variance (ANOVA) analyses revealed no interaction between Openness and fluid intelligence, an examination of the lower-order items of Openness and GIA revealed significant interactions in the female sample, particularly with esthetic appreciation. The results also suggest Openness as a unique predictor of secondary psychopathy, however the same does not hold true for fluid intelligence. The findings are discussed in relation to personnel selection procedures. Key considerations for attention capacity and activation theory are proposed. Sample size limitations are acknowledged.

In all, 118 participants (58 females, 59 males) were tested using the multidimensional assessment of fluid intelligence (GIA), an Open-to-Experience trait measure (HEXACO), and Levenson's secondary psychopathy questionnaire. Although analysis of variance (ANOVA) analyses revealed no interaction between Openness and fluid intelligence, an examination of the lower-order items of Openness and GIA revealed significant interactions in the female sample, particularly with esthetic appreciation.

Internal dialogue, the verbal intrapersonal communication among our inner voices, characterizes and influences creative thinking. Open questions remain, however, about how individual differences in internal dialogical activity relate to creative thinking. A survey study ( N = 325) was therefore conducted to explore the correlations between individual differences in internal dialogical activity, creative potential, and creative achievement. The results showed that internal dialogical activity correlated positively with creative achievement, which can be explained by a disposition to dialogically engage with thoughts, opinions, and ideas. Internal dialogical activity also correlated positively with originality during divergent thinking, which can be explained by a disposition to experience many types of internal dialogues. Supportive internal dialogical activity positively correlated with the production of many diverse responses. No correlations were found with convergent thinking. Herewith, the present study contributes novel insight into the relationship between internal dialogical activity, creative potential, and achievement.
