Self-Talk Functions in Travelers
Abstract
This research explored the functions of self-talk in people who hike or travel. The main research questions were: (1) Which functions of self-talk are used more often by travelers in comparison to non-travelers? (2) Which self-talk functions are particularly enhanced in solo travelers? The hypothesis accompanying the second question was that self-management is particularly strong in solo travelers. Participants were travelers who answered the Self-Talk Scale (STS) by Brinthaupt et al. (Citation2009). Their results were compared to the results of non-travelers. Total scores on the STS did not show any differences between the groups. However, the travelers had significantly higher results in self-reinforcement and lower results in self-criticism compared to the control group. Significant differences between and within groups confirmed adaptive patterns of self-talk functions among travelers. Solo travelers had higher total scores on the STS as well as in social assessment and self-management compared to co-travelers. We conclude that adaptive functions of self-talk, such as self-reinforcement, self-management or social assessment in people engaged in an outdoor activity like hiking or traveling can support the functioning of the dialogical self.

“The social isolation hypothesis, which associates self-talk with greater isolation, is challenged by findings that self-talk does not differ substantially between solo travelers and non-travelers [115].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
