The varieties of inner speech: Links between quality of inner speech and psychopathological variables in a sample of young adults

► We develop a questionnaire to assess a number of qualities of inner speech. ► We examine its correlations with psychopathology in young adults. ► The inner speech questionnaire was found to have satisfactory psychometrics. ► Anxiety, but not depression, correlated with specific varieties of inner speech. ► Proneness to auditory hallucinations correlated with levels of dialogic inner speech.
