Abstract
Imagined interactions are cognitive representations of conversation experienced as internal dialogues with significant others. Results of an investigation confirm four hypotheses. The self talks more in imagined interactions, imagined interactions primarily involve intimate partners and personal topics, they are more likely to occur before an actual communication event than after it, and they are less functional for lonely individuals.
