VTIQ-RUS: Russian Adaptation of the Tactile Imagery Vividness Questionnaire

A Russian-language adaptation of the Vividness of Tactile Imagery Questionnaire (VTIQ-RUS) was psychometrically evaluated with 150 healthy adults. The dataset contains responses to the 16-item questionnaire collected twice over a two-week interval. The instrument was developed by Lev Yakovlev and published on figshare in 2026.

Use Cases

• Assessing the reliability of a tactile imagery scale based on reported Cronbach's α and test-retest scores
• Analyzing the factor structure of a sensory imagery questionnaire based on the described exploratory factor analysis
• Conducting cross-cultural comparisons of mental imagery vividness based on the Russian-language adaptation
• Evaluating the internal consistency of psychological instruments based on the reported inter-item correlation range

Strengths

• High internal consistency reported (Cronbach’s α = 0.93)
• Strong test–retest reliability over a two-week interval (Spearman’s ρ = 0.791)
• Moderate inter-item correlations (range = 0.241–0.608) suggesting coherent but non-redundant items
• Exploratory factor analysis supported a unidimensional structure with item loadings between 0.564 and 0.774

Limitations

• Confirmatory factor analysis and construct validity were not assessed, requiring further validation
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
