Abstract:

Intrapersonal communication satisfaction was regressed on a type of intrapersonal communication known as imagined interactions (IIs). This study examined the functions of imagined interactions as they relate to intrapersonal communication satisfaction and measures of cultural patterns among Japanese, Thai, and American participants. Results across cultures revealed that intrapersonal communication satisfaction was predicted by imagined interactions that serve the catharsis function and the self-understanding function, as well as by horizontal collectivism. For the Japanese participants, intrapersonal communication satisfaction was predicted by the catharsis and boldness functions. For the American participants, intrapersonal communication satisfaction was predicted by the self-understanding and conflict management functions, while for the Thais, the II rehearsal and catharsis functions (as well as horizontal collectivism) predicted intrapersonal communication satisfaction.
