Intrapersonal communication occurs in several modes including inner dialogue and self-talk. The Dialogical Self Theory ( Hermans, 1996 ) postulates a polyphonic self that is comprised of a multiplicity of inner voices. Internal dialogical activity implies an exchange of thoughts or ideas between at least two so-called “I-positions” representing specific points of view. Among the functions served by self-talk are self-criticism, self-reinforcement, self-management, and social assessment ( Brinthaupt et al., 2009 ). This paper explores the relationships among different types of internal dialogues and self-talk functions. Participants included college students from Poland ( n  = 181) and the United States ( n  = 119) who completed two multidimensional measures of inner dialogue and self-talk. Results indicated moderately strong relationships between inner dialogue types and self-talk functions, suggesting that there is a significant overlap between the two modes of communication. We discuss several implications of these findings for exploring similarities and differences among varieties of intrapersonal communication.
