Abstract:

The relationship of self-awareness and Inner speech was investigated in the current study by administering Self-Talk Scale and Self-reflection and Insight Scale to four hundred participants (N=400) consisted of both genders (males, 225; females, 175), with the age limit of 20-40 years. The sample was taken from International Islamic University, Islamabad and University of Peshawar, Pakistan. The data was analyzed by applying linear regression analysis. It was predicted that self-awareness and the frequency of inner speech would be positively related with each other. It was also predicted that self-reflection would be positively related to the frequency of inner speech whereas insight would be negatively related to the frequency of inner speech.The findings of the study showed that self-awareness was positively related to the frequency of inner speech as predicted. Self-reflection was found to be positively related to the frequency of inner speech and insight was negatively related to the frequency of inner speech as expected.
