“…With regard to gender the results were in line with previous studies, which indicated gender invariance in the imagery ability (Campos, 2014;Williams et al, 2012;Bhasavanija, Vongjaturapat, Morris, & Muangnapo, 2011;Hall, 2001;Richardson, 1994Richardson, , 1999Abma, Fry, Li, & Relyea, 2002;Lorant & Nicholas, 2004;Vadocz, Hall, & Moritz, 1997). Despite the fact that there was some evidence where males and females presented different imagery generating capabilities, it should be pointed out that different aspects of imagery were examined and only limited differences were discovered (Ozel, Molinaro, & Larue, 2001;Richardson, 1995;Taktek, 2004;Campos, Pérez-Fabello, & Gómez-Juncal, 2004;Williams & Cumming, 2011;Budnik-Przybylska, 2014).…”

backgroundImagery is often beneficial not only in gaining a psychological advantage when competing but also in building selfesteem and self-confidence. The aim of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Polish adaptation of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 (MIQ-3), consisting of 12 questions measuring 3 dimensions: visual internal imagery, visual external imagery and kinesthetic imagery. participants and procedureA sample of athletes (N = 276 -102 women, 174 men (M = 21.25, SD = 6.35)) of various disciplines (football, volleyball, karate, swimming, etc.) with different sport experience (from recreation to the national team) filled in the MIQ-3 questionnaire in the Polish language. resultsThe results of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with maximum likelihood confirmed that the established three-factor model reflects well the relationships observed in the respondents' answers (satisfactory value of RMSEA below the recommended value of .05 (RMSEA = .04) and a high value of the index above .90 CFI (CFI = .93)). Reliability indicators (composite reliability -CR) observed for individual factors indicated a very high internal consistency (external visual imagery = .75, internal visual imagery = .79 and kinesthetic imagery = .82). The results indicated that good stability and internal consistency were maintained over a 3-week period. In addition, analyses were examined across age, level of experience and gender. conclusionsThe results of the present study support the psychometric properties of the Polish adaptation of the MIQ-3. key words imagery; athletes; Reliability and validity of the Polish version of the Movement Imagery corresponding author -Dagmara Budnik-Przybylska, Ph.D.,

“…By comparing a correlated traits version of the model to an uncorrelated version, our results revealed that visual and kinesthetic imagery should be considered as separate but related constructs. This finding is in accordance with previous studies (Abma et al, 2002;Goss et al, 1986;Vadocz et al, 1997). Unlike previous MIQ-R validation, our findings support the MIQ-R as a measure of movement imagery ability for both males and females, as the factor structure was invariant across gender.…”

“…Based on the validation of the VMIQ-2 (Roberts et al, 2008), which also assesses multiple dimensions of imagery ability using the same items, and previous research that demonstrates significant correlations between visual and kinesthetic imagery (e.g., Abma et al, 2002;Goss et al, 1986;Vadocz et al, 1997), we hypothesized that a correlated trait-correlated uniqueness model would provide the best fit to the data. In addition, it was hypothesized that our final model would display gender invariance, and based on studies demonstrating no gender differences in imagery ability (e.g., Lorant & Nicholas, 2004;Monsma et al, 2009;, that there would be no significant gender differences in latent means.…”

“…Further to these strengths of the questionnaire, good internal reliability has consistently been reported for the MIQ-R subscales (e.g., Abma, Fry, Li, & Relyea, 2002;Vadocz, Hall, & Moritz, 1997), and a handful of studies have demonstrated its predictive validity (e.g., Vadocz et al, 1997). However, evidence of the MIQ-R's factorial validity is currently lacking, with the majority of existing studies having been conducted on the original MIQ (e.g., Atienza, Balaguer, & Garcia-Merita, 1994).…”

This research validated and extended the Movement Imagery QuestionnaireRevised (MIQ-R; Hall & Martin, 1997). Study 1 (N = 400) examined the MIQ-R's factor structure via multitrait-multimethod confirmatory factor analysis. The questionnaire was then modified in Study 2 (N = 370) to separately assess the ease of imaging external visual imagery and internal visual imagery, as well as kinesthetic imagery (termed the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3; MIQ-3). Both Studies 1 and 2 found that a correlated-traits correlated-uniqueness model provided the best fit to the data, while displaying gender invariance and no significant differences in latent mean scores across gender. Study 3 (N = 97) demonstrated the MIQ-3's predictive validity revealing the relationships between imagery ability and observational learning use. Findings highlight the method effects that occur by assessing each type of imagery ability using the same four movements and demonstrate that better imagers report greater use of observational learning.

“…The two most important sensory modalities used in imagery are the visual and the kinesthetic (Farahatet, 2004). Visual imagery is the ability to clearly see the specified images, whereas kinesthetic imagery is the ability to clearly feel imaged body movements and other physical sensations (Abma et al, 2002). Thus the kinesthetic sense is often recommended for athletes (Gould et al, 2002;Murphy, 1994;Weinberg & Gould, 2007).…”

Background: The present research aimed at measuring sport imagery among basketball players from Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER). Method: Sixty (N=60) male basketball players of inter IISER sports meet with the age group of 18 to 28 years were selected through purposive sampling technique to act as subjects from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research. They were further divided into five groups: Group-A twelve (N=12) from IISER Mohali, (n=12), Group-B twelve (n=12) from IISER Pune, Group-C twelve (n=12) from IISER Bhopal, Group-D twelve (n=12) from IISER Kolkata, Group-E twelve (n=12) from IISER Thiruvananthapuram. Statistical analysis: One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed to compare the entire groups. Where 'P' values found significant then Least Significant Differences (LSD) Post-hoc test was applied to find out the direction and degree of difference. The level of significance was set at P>0.05. Conclusions: It is concluded that results revealed significant differences among male basketball players from
