Hurlburt et al.(2022) compared self-talk frequency using three methods:(a) a questionnaire asking participants to rate how often they talk to themselves in specific situations (Self-Talk Scale, STS; Brinthaupt et al., 2009),(b) a questionnaire (The Nevada Inner Experience Questionnaire, NIEQ; Heavey et al., 2019) asking participants to rate how often they engage in inner speech and (c) the Descriptive Experience Sampling technique (DES; see Heavey and Hurlburt, 2008)—an interview-based technique probing inner experiences occurring in participants’ natural environment. Hurlburt et al.(2022) concluded that “... estimates of inner-experience frequency produced by questionnaires [STS and NIEQ] and DES are irreconcilably discrepant...”(p. 559) and that questionnaires inflate the frequencies of self-reported inner experiences and self-talk. In what follows, we demonstrate that Hurlburt et al.’s conclusions are unwarranted, principally because the authors compared incomparables, apples to oranges.
